saved from trying to punish anyone

Why be afraid of a process you're 
already able to describe with precision? 
To say you don't believe in it 
is to say that you're not. 
It doesn't care so why should you? 
You've been given your body back 
without a quarrel. See this vision 
of your imagined body float toward you: 
it disappears into you without a trace. 
You feel full with a fullness again. 
Your dimensions aren't scattered in dreams. 
             ~ 
Living all my life with a totally normal-sized dick 
(cf. the authorities: Van de Velde, Masters & Johnson) 
neither hedgehog or horse, neither emu or elephant 
(saw one in Kenya, the girls said O my goodness) 
neither wharf rat, arrogant buck dinosaur, 
prepotent swan, ground squirrel, Lauxmont Admiral 
famous Holstein bull who sired 200,000 artificially. 
I am saved from trying to punish anyone, 
from confusing it with a gun, harpoon, cannon, sword 
cudgel, Louisville Slugger. It just sits there 
in the dark, shy and friendly 
like the new kid at school.
