[A parody of Wallace Stevens' "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird"]
A sword - striking down other penises - slashing at the structure of the symbol - a tool for rule -
A brain - powered by blood - controlling its master - dictating through hormones -
A fortress - the impenetrable penis - the invulnerable armor of the masculine - the unwillingness to adapt - to equalize - to be humble -
A chink - both armor and vulnerability - tall and proud - small and weak -
A seed - fertilize the unfertile - x & y - anthropologically relevant - + & -
A ruler - average length of a penis six inches - two penises is a foot - measure by penis - how tall are you? - 12 penises -
An extension cord - how to reach vaginas - or other penises - extend the penis far from the body - plug it in - turn on the electricity -
A pendant - like a necklace only less visually appealing -
A burden - like a cross but without the crossbeam - Jesus carrying a penis up Golgotha -
An obsession - why write a poem about it? - why Freud? - why phallocentrism? - why care about the penis? - why think about the penis? - it's only anatomy -
A stage prop - what is its true use? - other creatures copulate without penises - peni? -
An appendix - an ending - an afterthought - God's final addition -
A paperweight -
