Pollination
by lena on Apr.08, 2009, under Favorite quotes, Slideshow blog
Semen is Latin
for a dormant, fertilized,
plant ovum -
a seed.
Men’s ejaculate
is chemically more akin
to plant pollen.
See,
it is really
more accurate
to call it mammal pollen.
To call it
semen
is to thrust
an insanity
deep inside our culture:
that men plow women
and plant their seed
when, in fact,
what they are doing
is pollinating
flowers.
Now.
Doesn’t that change everything between us?
