Vibrissae
Penile spines may do for cats
And chimpanzees; perhaps rats. Their bumps, their lumps, their elevations Are hypothesized to enhance sensations. Male, that is. For the tingle when they mingle Serves not her orgiastic bliss, But his; The mister’s fun, and not the miss, Our own reality is more, and less, than this.
An alleged gene deletion Of an androgen enhancing region Of human DNA, Took out not only those male protrusions But also bisexual facial projections. That is to say, Gone now those tactile filaments, Our cat-whiskered vibrissae. The loss of such touch,
Such feeling array, May to those like us cause brief dismay. For at evening fall we conjure light;
Turn on at dusk or fire ignite. And, if we are in the mood for play, Use digital input to feel our way. As for his nether lack ….who is to say?
Perhaps at end it’s better this way. Anastasia Voight
