The Solitary Farmer
The Solitary Farmer
bought semen from the catalogue
with colored pictures of sires—sturdy,
promising, like portraits
of Harvard men at the sperm bank.
He was most formal, wouldn’t talk
of inserting the insemination rod,
delivering the goods to the cow.
The farmer never married.
People wondered if he thought
the real act would be a disappointment.
