PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

so it’s 3:51 AM

and I’m sitting

in Penn Station, NYC

and there’s two cute Asian girls

sitting 10 feet away

talking in some native tongue

and my dick is as hard

as the concrete floor I’m sitting on

I’m dirty and tired

and they’re just too cute

so no move is likely

but I console myself

that at least there is a reason

at least it’s not

like high school

when you get a hard on

for no real reason

and it’s embarrassing

or Saturday morning

when there’s suddenly

an unexplained swelling

that is neither motivated

nor meaningful

I’m layered enough

to be unnoticed

so I’ll ride it out

to the bitter end

times like these

there’s little else

you can do

but just go with the flow

and hope for the best

relief, sadly,

is a 90 minute train ride away
