Tampons (I have your attention?)
About The T-Word
Men who write poetry don't
create metaphors for tampons until
she asks him to add it to the shopping list, and
I decide to write:
"sandbags".
But, it makes me think
of oil spills from ships on rocks,
run aground by
drunken captains whose negligence disturbs
fowl with black crud
in pristine waters, or, or
filtration systems
that turn sewage into drinking water
and, yuck, yes add
bottled water to the list.
With head spinning and spinning, think
I need another metaphor,
google this thing,
because
what do I know about tampons, except
never discuss them with a woman.

just off the top of my head, a five minute write. I'm not even going to look back (okay, I did). Close my eyes and prepare to wince.
