Hero
Man looks over my shoulder as
he always does
as if he has the right to validate
whom I choose to be
commenting with penis in hand
about all of his accomplished deeds
what a hero, what a man
He keeps talking so I imagine a
man whom I want to see
what's the difference between
a memory and a dream when they
are both done? It's all
the same to me
He makes remarks about my form
with shallow thrusts of lust
and I am left to ignore his
simple animalistic longing
I've already written these words a
million times
I've already repeated the liars
and these lines
I already know what the outcome
will be, I laugh
tho' it pains him
Will I meet all of the men who
have left good effect on me
will I touch all those lips and
see, I, have these dreams
these eyes looking at me
hesitate, then a kiss
considering if the fantasy is
better than the reality of this hero
Man coughs again, reminding me of his
private reality, everyone in the world
can see, except for me. Then he's
also just a dream or a memory.
