Man Nipples are Meant to be Ceremonial. By Ryan Quinn Flanagan


Remember when you didn’t have to go dragging 
the sparkplugs out of the car each night to get your jollies?
Man nipples are meant to be ceremonial,
like flowers at a wedding.
The moment you start sucking on the flowers,
the rest of the garden grows uncomfortable.
The veggies get stunted and the hoe can’t do shit 
for the soil.

had this conversation with you.

Now,
it’s on the page 
for everyone to read.

Part of the public record.
Like your allergy to nuts and my 
allergy to you.
