Gamete Poems | Examples


On the Subject of Breakfast

I have played thief. I 
have gone a-viking, and
I have stolen the encapsulated equivalents of uterine
linings. 
(from various species of fowl)
I at this very moment delight in the taste of the
unfertilized gamete, and may I just say that these lifeless 
cholesterol bombs go very well with fried tubers and zesty 
strips of fatty swine. 

life, my siblings.

Life is beautiful, and 
the true colors of nature are shades and hues of sanguine blood. 
red/after oxygen
blue/before.

16 Oz.

The frozen male gamete is injected into the
bovine beast of burden and succour.

Months later, through the miracle of mitosis, a 
juicy cut of prime passes through the birth canal, both
beautiful and bloody.

Steadfast child of some eastern divinity, I have faith that this creature was born
to meet his end on some surgical-steel golgotha,

and nourish me as bits and pieces cut and portioned on my dixie plate!



-note-
I am not a vegetarian.

A Traveling Warrior

I am the seed planted
nine months prior to birth
a traveling warrior
racing around her precious fertile earth
my tail propelling
sending me further in seconds
i need hurry, my target beckons 

                                                         In competition with millions
                                                         all with one objective in mind
                                                         my opponents are vicious
                                                         far from kind
                                                         the warmth of the egg 
                                                         my alternative to sight
                                                         sublime in my movements
                                                         there is no time for fright

Ahead by a distance
I am first in line
there it is, I sense it
by myself, i'm fine
contact at high impact
already almost through
i'm in, i won, i'm the gamete
my seed is now inside you
