Semen is Latin
for a dormant, fertilized,
plant ovum-
a seed.
Men's ejaculate
is chemically more akin
to a 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 woman
and plant their seed
when, in fact,
what they are doing
is pollinating
flowers.
Now,
doesn't that change everything between us?
