"Lemon Tits" is a tongue-in-cheek title given to a serious work. The construction involves lemons, metaphors in this case, for defective breasts which were subsequently removed in radical surgery; though the operation itself was simple, the psychosexual ramifications were daunting. Questions are scribbled on fabric: "Where are the breasts now? Did the hospital throw them in the garbage?" and "Is eroticism and orgasm still achievable without nipples?" "Lemon Tits" represents the journey of eventual marital collapse to the prospect and hope of starting anew, single and without "tits."
