best friends for so long and

me & my boy we stay ballin’

watch games & get sloshed &

laugh at each other nod off

and so one day last autumn

with your guard down & falling

stripped you down to your draws &

my empty king bed was calling

you were wasted & crawled in

face down & promptly snoring

when my hands started exploring

through your boxers to warm skin

and my mouth began watering

fell agape and begged to join in

first an appetizing salad…
