Inside role as bearer
of meaning rather than maker of meaning
acceptable power relationships between lovers
as children before blowing out the candles
a wish about future sexual ratification
——WORSHIPING THE METAPHORICAL PENIS, LINKED TO VIOLENCE AND CREATIVITY, A WEAPON PEOPLE WANT TO TOUCH, TO CALL THEIR OWN, HAVING SEEN A MAN’S PENIS YOU HAVE SEEN HIS SOUL, HAVING SEEN HIS ERECTION YOU HAVE JOINED IN WEDLOCK——
