Gymnast



GYMNAST (1965)

Exquisitely excruciating—
down to the last squirt

Down to the last little—
oozelette I got outta you
____________

There in my apartment—
north of campus

If only Chimes Street—
could tell the story 
____________

But then I’m sure—
you’ve forgotten now

Your girlfriend's lips—
the way I did you
____________

Young teen gymnast—
Big Easy freshman stud

Flexing your chest—
just for me back then
_____________

How you made me—
feel sorry for you

So lonely, so needy—
Big Easy melancholy 
__________

Down there in Gretna—
you’d call her name

When you lost it—
just for her but like
___________

I was really the one—
who got the feel

Michelangelo’s David—
coming alive thru you
