Browsing, shuffling rapidly pages turned
Cannot linger too long else hands burn.
Ah! A sexy specimen – nice “face and eyes!”,
Footballers in print – looks on the sly!
Sharp, deadly blades hastily snip,
A hurried portrait of sex – quick!
Concealed in the pages of a diary
Not the only thing concealed…
A swift release, imagining the feel
Of hard muscular physique as a meal
This is false love (act of prostration)
Indoctrination into my new philosophy
I will get cut by the blades, slashed and scored and
SCOURED
To reveal a true love.
