Thanks Ryfkah,
Yeh, I guessed that's what must happen for a reaction to take place... but I
sense, because the poem gives much more (non metaphorical) detail about
persons, that there's a lot going on.
I think I was meaning I didn't JUST want to read the mention of the rod as a
euphamism for sex, I wanted to read it in the context of, or following on
from, all the rest of what I'd read in the poem.
