the only time a man <br />held my private package <br />I was resting back <br />on the examination table <br />at the Family Health Plan southside clinic <br /> <br />they had already given me a sedative <br />and asked if I would bring someone to drive me home <br />and although I felt as if I was drunk <br />I was getting ready for my first vasectomy <br /> <br />and the main thing I remember <br />is that the doctor pulled out a 12 inch piece of string <br />and tied up my two testicles <br />as if they were a steer roped <br />and tied up with its' legs in the air <br /> <br />and for the life of me <br />I don't know why he used the string <br />or isn't there a vasectomy clamp <br />or was the string a symbol <br />of me hanging up <br />my parenting <br />ability?<br /><br />Oscar Mireles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/strung-up-by-a-string/
