The man who is desperate for a son

is a man. The man who is desperate for a son

is so much a man that he wants to fill the world

with more man. In replicating himself, he

wants to increase the amount of man. He is a man

and he wants more. He himself is not sufficient – 

man begets man begets man. A daughter is OK but

it isn’t a man, and the man who is desperate for a son

is a man. A man who wants another man. Who needs

another man. One man isn’t enough, and the man 

who is desperate for a son is only one man. He 

is only one man, and he can’t bear to be alone.
