I couldn’t see a thing, but I could make out his
Billy-club of a cock beneath the purplish-white street lights.
Reached into his boxers like a grab bag of Cracker Jacks
and pulled out the prize I won.

Could feel its penile thump in my heavy-duty hands.
Stooping down, his cock was this close to my face.
I devoured him like I was at an All You Can Eat Hot Bar
at Western Sizzlin’.

Last night this boy who was lizard-thin, whose name
I never got,
had a dick like a gun that he shoved in my mouth.
Held him back with the hand I write poems with.

His pubes smelled like Langston’s Seafood, but I didn’t care.
He had a butt like a balloon that scraped
against the brick wall of the Lord’s house.

His orange shirt kept dropping like a curtain in my face.
“Hold your shirt up,” I told him.
Beneath the peat moss of oak trees, I gave the boy head.
“Suck that dick,” he said.
He played with my tits like they were Slinkies.
“I’m gonna cum.” His spunk tasted like colored tissue.

I never swallowed because this is not a perfect world.
But in a poem, I can drink cum like Kool-Aid.

Late last night a boy I gave head to went home a
satisfied customer
And I have dried cum on my thigh to prove it.

My pubes are the very threads that
make up the inseam that cuts between
your inner thigh. I can feel the joy
in being a favorite pair of your jeans.

Especially in public bathrooms where
I’m pulled down relentlessly to those
creamy ankles. The belt hangs loose
and limp on floors that look like
they haven’t been mopped for months.

I would fit perfectly at the butt,
and around your 32 inch waist
directly below stomach, chest
and a land of freckles.

And when you’re done
pulling me from each
lovely leg before a hot shower,
I shall hang pressed on a wire
hanger like I was never worn.
