Hustlers & Tricks
—for Gerard Manley Hopkins
__________________
The hustler is father to the trick—
How can this be? It seems so queer
And gay and that’s the reason why
The hustlers are wild—
Suck what sense you can outta
Them before they become men
They’re more manly than—
The man who cruises the streets
For young men that can be had
They give more than they get—
Each excruciating squirt what makes
A young man a man all the way
