The Emasculation of Man
"The Emasculation of Man"
The world goes by loudly
emasculated man
sees nothing
for what it’s worth
ignorant and
pumelling chests
gorilla armies
neanderthals
small brained
with closed fists
power hungry
greed-fuelled

supernatural

sharp and sweet as a bell
tugging at the edges of...

Pausing to munch a trembling snack
