Lock the door.
Dim the lights.
Grab toys,
fleshlights,
rope,
take a sip of whiskey,
you’ll need it 
to paralyze the 
crooked, crusted,
cranium.

Toss my corpse on the 
bed like a litterbug,
make me scream, 
shout, let it out 
to reach sky-high 
fatuous fantasies
and don’t stop,
until I wet the bed
and collapse like
a putrid possum.

Can’t vamoose
until we unwind,
pull,
yank, jerk the 
loose-goose
into begging, 
pleading, weeping
for your third wedge 
to ejaculate lament
in between
those luscious,
greasy,
cheese stick 
legs.
