The ManKind Project and My Responsibility

MKP & ME
By Reid Baer

My brothers told me
tonight I did not

Have to be mad like
some gladiator

Always right in the
middle of the ring

I could be afraid
or even just sad

Admitting it stings
when I pull out the

MKP needle
from my purple vein

I own this wounded
container and all

My judgments and my
feelings that remain
