Commonsense, Centaurs
It stands to reason that if men become
Themselves, a fractionation will result.
The only way for unity is numb
Society. Agreement will insult
The purpose of a man. Why bother with
Essential masculinity if what
We want is maleness purified like myth?
We want a basic beast, his tethers cut
By him, not by us others, no; yes, by
The man himself. We do not want a boy
Whose mother has imposed the rule, “Don’t try”
On him. We do not want her to destroy
That part of him that needs to pound its way
To utterness. Let that part buck and neigh.
