Manliness, Navel Gazing, and My Weird Wife
On Wanting a Better Vagina


Over coffee, she recounts her dream:

I was going down on you,
but you had no penis.
You had a vagina.

It was small
- freakishly small.
There was no odor, no taste
- and I was not disgusted.

She adds the last
like it’s a compliment.
I won’t let it rest.

I want her running in her sleep
on four legs, growling;
sliding past, and clawing back
in animal fascination
to the strength of my sweat.
And if I must have a vagina,
I want a Big Manly Vagina.
She says:

It was only a dream. Stop
being a bitch.

Thanks, Lauren.

I posted this because I know Sarah doesn't like it (I have to keep *some* sort of artistic integrity...) grins

Hey! You're my 1,000th blog visitor. You've just won a free bottle of Tylenol!

There goes my artistic integrity.

Is that an oxymoron?

Very cool blog, Ryan.

Stick figures rock. I wish I could draw them. Ever notice how those stupid drawing lesson books always *assume* you know how to draw a stick figure?

I hate that.

Funny, a good example of why I never listen to people's dreams.

PS........I followed Lauren here.

Dreams are humbling things, Pamela.

When I wrote my first draft a year ago, it was a bit angrier. At the time, I was really cheesed that she would dream of me having a tiny vagina. As if that were somehow more emasculating than a larger one.

PS..... Be careful following Lauren. She's having a midlife crisis and is thinking of doing something crazy - like making glass or subbing to a magazine.
