At Least Babies Don't Grow Out Of Condoms

by Jasmine Sword-Mann

I 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.

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.

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.

and we think the world over-populated as is. Try to fathom the numbers if babies could grow out of discarded condoms!
