Manhood.

If manhood had horns,
I'd grab manhood by the horns like a bull
and tie its head and face in knots.
A bull's face as a sneaker,
worn at the sole, covered in tile grout.

And if manhood had horns
and was a bull,
I'd have its sagging brown testicles
in my gloves. Spinning and surface
flinching like sullen Earth.
Turning itself over in my hands
like a God that holds testicles.
Don't ask yourself a question,
like "Does God hold testicles?,"
because God does hold testicles.

He held your testicles in his hands
and turned them into plains
and pushed two sets of testicles together,
built them up into a hill,
then bunched his fists, moulding
the hill into a mountain over 
a million years.
And flattened the mountain
into a plateau with the side of his hand.

Everyone's manhood is a part of the Earth,
your manhood could be Billings, Montana
or just a tree.
