Chromodoris Reticulata

After the humble dung beetle, the next creature
I admire greatly is the Japanese sea slug.
The males penis detaches from its body
twenty minutes after it mates,
because it is better to discard it than keep it.
Twenty four hours later it grows another.
Is this how humans evolved patriarchal pride?
Human males are highly attached to their penises,
which are merely a flap of skin and muscle.
And all too often human males invest an existential angst
to the value to the penis, as if it were an article of faith
that the owner of said flesh is granted selected life-long rights
of ownership over all the penis touches, and similar
over much its owner merely wishes it had waved at.
