The X Man

His superpower was that his testicles manufactured sperm

with exclusively X chromosomes & that was ironic because

not only was he a beast to women but his 40 baby girls grew

up seeking men like the father they barely saw unless they went

to his studio to be painted which wasn’t OK with their mothers

who were not only jealous but guilty of giving birth to girls

who were products of an X-chromosome-making monster

& would soon suffer at the hands of other monsters with X-

type sperm thereby assuring the continuation of suffering

& meanwhile all the girls became writers who slouched

from sitting at desks & being daughters & lovers of beasts.
