murky territory?

i want the coat hanger that Peter Firth
beat himself with in the movie Equus.
i am not a fetishist.
but i just want to own the
coat hanger that Peter Firth beat himself
with in the movie Equus.
i want to smell it.
i want to touch it.
i want to rub it against my face.
i am not a fetishist.
Peter Firth was naked when
he was beating himself with
that coat hanger.
i just want to possess it.
i just want to call it my own.
i wonder if it smells,
and if it does, does it
smell like wood, sweat,
or leather?

--Carl Miller Daniels (2010)
