To Connect (as a cis-gendered male-loving male)
This is how I connect with you, in hidden spaces
between trees
bathroom stalls
fucking in the hot musky fog
I connect to you by electronic pulses, global positioning, I see you
are only a few feet away, with a few minutes to spare
enough to put my cock in your mouth
We connect through coded glances
1, 2, 3 seconds, and you’ll let me buy you a drink now
And then and forever shall be
world without end
I connect with you over fantasies of other men.
measuring my worth against theirs
replacing you with another body
replacing me with another cock
another set of lips
another round and ready ass
To conquer
We connect over things that should have been
But it’s always been
simply you and me
and other men
connecting.

Basically, “How to be Popular” for the new age.
The Internet: Nothing but a world-wide high school.
I was without internet all weekend and somehow survived!
Amazing how much more productive i was without it, actually. I finished 2 art projects, and collected my work in portfolio form to present to a local venue. Apart from all that, I had time to party my face off, cook a couple of meals, and improve my Spanish. Woohoo!
