why

why.

WHY?

WHY are Blood and Sweat saluted and glorified
yet Semen, joyous sweet peace-loving Semen,
Maker of All Babies (until relatively recently
) is treated as a mark of disrespectful, a most

shameful stain upon escutcheons of one and all
men - "not all men," some lie and pretend with each other,
but it's true. All men! Are the target of slingers
seeking to make the shame of our Semen ridiculous

upon us! Shall we let them?

I say thee Nay! Fie upon such foul sports! Time has come

To release fair play from its hidden glens, and let it rush forth

in proud spurts onto the field
and raining down upon the stands
in a tumultuous exultation of excruciating joy
that will by glory holy and innocence baring,

washing away all stain of shame

from the suddenly truth-laden face and eyes

of all who will bare their share of discarded modesty

humbly flaunting their honest nature before us all to see what is
right in public!

And take up the strangled cry of triumph,

a triumph of the human sweetness of joyous, obsessive,

peace-loving Semen. Finally

we will not tolerate the giggling!
