They found him
in a room in Thailand—
pants down, belt around neck
big smile on his face.
The prostitute in the room
sobbing and swearing
it was an accident.
Auto erotic asphyxiation
gone horribly wrong.
And then there are suicidal tendencies
and people hanging themselves.
But families lose the Ka-ching
if it’s suicide
so now we have lawsuits
claiming deceased loved ones
were really just perverts—
No intent to die
Just intent to cum
Auto erotic asphyxiation
gone horribly wrong
But maybe we’re taking
our idioms and adages too far.
Maybe we need
to drop “choke the chicken”
and bring back “spank the monkey”
There will still be
a lot of redness and swelling
but at least you’ll live
to recount your shame.
