XVI

I shall fuck you anally and orally

Cock-in-mouth Aurelius and sodomite Furius,

Since you judge me by my short poems

Because they are sexy, not pure enough.

It is only right that a poet is restrained and proper

In himself but there is no need at all for his

Little poems to be so.

What’s more they have salt and elegance

Despite being sexy and not pure enough

And even have the power to inspire the urge for sex –

I don’t mean in boys, but in those hoary old men

Who struggle to raise their cocks up hard.

And because you read of many thousands of kisses

You think me barely male?

I shall fuck you anally and orally.
