Hard Head Makes a Soft Love...

Cement Foreskin

Peel me back to find embedded
within the heart of my core,
Fleshly life line, penal cord
Thick top, shinny middle, swollen bottom
Flesh incision has the appearance of rotten teeth
Jagged edge,
covering the penis head like hair on a balding man,
open, red,
not infected, hurting when erected,
limp when caressed,
stretched to notice points of non-healing,
non-believing regrets of a grown man
taking matters into his own hands
to satisfy the curiosity of an
over-bearing lover turned paramedic,
he lay on the floor…

Soaking in his own blood,
mind flooded with unexplored emotions,
life slipping away,
pouring itself into the toilet he was hunched over,
from the cradle to the grave,
a careless mistake made just to show
he was hard as cement…

Deep regret, his life spent for less than the cost of the .99 razor
he used to circumcise himself…

SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!! do you know that this same scenario was played out on my favorite show "Nip/Tuck" on FX? the son didn't end up dying, but it was similar. he got the instructions on how to do it off the damn internet. was drinking red wine trying to get drunk enough to do it in the first place. started cutting, saw the blood on his hand, and passed the hell out!
