It probably is pure shock value. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't get a petty thrill from being repellant, but my intentions weren't in any way misogynistic, and I sincerely hope that this poem isn't construed as such; I also wanted just to create surreal images. If it helps, it's written from the perspective of the husband in this poem: http://www.pigpenpoetry.com/showthread.php?tid=6249&highlight=the+passion+of+the+wife I didn't mention that originally because I thought it'd be a bit cheeky to promote another of my poems within a post when I haven't been around for quite a while
