At Least Babies Don't Grow Out Of Condoms by Jasmine Sword-MannI feel a little like a used condom.
I always feel sorry for those things.
There's usually a penis inside:
some big and fat,
some small and skinny,
some red and bulbous,
some pink and sleek,
but they're present at the most
intimate moment a human can have,
and when the pleasure is done
they're tossed aside in a sticky mess,
waiting to be dumped.
I empathize with the used condom;
it's not their fault, they don't
know what they got themselves into,
and they all end up getting called
the same thing: "trash".
They're thin skinned, fragile
and sometimes break.
It's tragic, really,
looking at the shriveled thing
that broke.
Instead of the sperm dying
in a latex womb,
they've found mine.
It's tragic, really. 01/09/2009 Posted on 04/12/2010 Copyright © 2025 Jasmine Sword-Mann

Posted by Nanette Bellman on 04/13/10 at 04:18 AM I like this because you don't seem to sugar coat it. It really makes you think deeper into the over-abused act of sex. Beautiful. |
Posted by Frankie Sanchez on 05/11/10 at 05:15 PM there is something remarkable about this. i love that you approach a topic that is usually considered taboo and that you don't shy away from it. |
