was a time I had the torque
of a Black and Decker
drill bit running high
under red hot sheets.
Brothels closing
up and down Forty
Deuce as I wore
out harlot after harlot.
But even sex addicts
can find mutations of love
and in the wake of many
a spent condom , a Venus
of my very own latched
hard onto my dreams
till her Jezebel called me
on my delusions with a lock
my skeleton key could not turn.
My ejaculations she avoided
like toxic spills causing
my confidence to free fall
to the point where now I look
out the window for hours
till the postman delivers
my mail order Viagra
so I can pleasure the stud
in the bordello of my mind.
