Breast. There, I said it.
Now I'll use it in a poem:
When I lie down to take my rest
I lay my head on my wife's breast.
WUKY, the radio station at the University of Kentucky (alas, my home state) will cancel radio shows featuring that daring poem. Just ask Garrison Keillor, whose Writer's Almanac was cancelled for using Amber Coverdale Sumrall's "Reunion," in which she "refused to get high," and Donald Justice's "Thinking About the Past" and Edward Field's "Curse of the Cat Woman," both of which use the word breast.
I don't know the Lexington Herald-Leader's policy on archived news, but for the next few days, at least, you can find the article here. I learned about it from the New Poetry mailing list.
