Two poems



for example, you just might have a big fuzzy
parallel universe coconut in your very own bed

supposedly,
parallel universes are universes that exist right on top
of this one.
right on top of me there may be,
at this very minute and entirely unbeknownst to me,
a tall cute naked parallel universe
man with the tip
of his great big cock snuggling in my ear.
or right this minute there may be a parallel
universe train with a huge 400 quadzillion ton
locomotive traveling through your chest.
or there may be crisp pungent red apples falling languidly
off a tree right through the top of your head and
landing in your feet.
this parallel universe concept thing is a real riot.
every once in a while when you think you
hear someone talking and no one is there,
every once in a while when you feel a cold chill
and there's no window open and no air conditioner
running and no fan running, maybe it's something
really powerful wild strong magnificent going
on in the parallel universe, maybe a hurricane
or a typhoon or 5,000 of the handsomest young
men in the whole parallel universe going at it
in one big oily orgy of hot athletic homoerotic sex
or a city is collapsing under the trauma of
a point 99 parallel universe earthquake, for a moment
you feel someone is talking, or a cool
breeze moves across your ear lobe,
you stand up and look around, and settle
back down to some more moments
of uneasy boredom, the tv barking at
you nastily like a spoiled little overfed dog.

==============================

peace love lust understandingsomething like that

three sexy naked big-dicked teenage boys
sit by a stream
and talk and laugh
and jerk off
and spurt cum
and laugh some more.  they are
particularly amused
at the varied trajectories at which
their cum spurts -- "rocket-launch" and
"sideways spatter badly-aimed" to
"just plain sloppy" -- and at their
varied volumes of cum -- "goodgod half a gallon!" to "just
a pitiful little ole sputter" --
then they laugh some more and talk some more
and then does life continue gently along seeming like
pure unzipped fun
as
three sexy naked big-dicked teenage boys sit
by a stream and
laugh and joke and spurt cum.
