"outrageous orange (crude shapes refined)"
I’ve viewed every T-back Y-back G-string
skinny side Roman quick release
Stuffit™ micro teardrop Lycra pistol pouch thong
on skinzwear.com
and my delight has me marooned, pants-less
Is it the ballooning feeling
bulging out a skimpy spandex funhouse? Or else
the ulterior
squishing in a cuddly male contour
an otherwise swinging fruit bunch
the wilderness rose up to and sprawled around
no longer wild
My mind, my top drawer, fills with day-glo
Mini curtseys to gravity
Plush packages of the real displayed in
eCommerce upchuck:
toasted orange hard-bodies with sunspots,
rogue pubes, appendectomy scars
flattened into Photoshop apologies (Blur)
An awkward market
of Florida-made erotic neutral
but kudos to us perverts who
prefer to be strung along, the party
horn rolled back unblown
