Yang city yin

The city.     Macho.
   Tall, hard-on buildings
     cemented to hide their erectile dysfunction.

Scrotum sacs of stadiums
for gladiators competing sperm-like.
    The manly spitting
        of messages from billboards,
     of people from well-muscled, bulging metro stations.

Tight-fisted elevators
masturbating the building slyly into pleasure.

The city.    Where every half-assed dream
gets to pee standing up
    and women get to be someone
    only when they peel back a foreskin.
