I'll never forget what that man told me/
When I went to college/
When I first saw him/
In the lobby.
He was with his friends/
And he said/
"I hope you don't mind/
I need to unzip my jacket./
It's hot in here."
And he did in front of his friends/
Right in the lobby/
Where the reception desk sat/
I saw his beautiful hairy chest/
Fluffy taco meat chest hair/
And became so hard/
I was just standing there/
Rooted to the spot/
Gawking and staring/
And had the strongest erection/
A painful throbbing/
And his friends were looking at his hairy chest/
Staring as if they were just as attracted to him/
And getting hard just the same/
Then, the man saw me/
And shouted, "What da fuck'a ya lookin' at man?!"
I came back to my senses/
And to avoid conflict/
I said, "Nothing,"/
And left while he was still shouting.
When I left/
I was so hard that I came on myself.
I remembered that when I saw his hairy chest/
I felt energy from it that went inside of me/
That made me aroused.
I still remember that the man/
Was bald/
Slender/
And muscular/
What was that energy?
I never understood what it was.
I saw him another day/
With his hairy chest out/
In a jacket.
He was very friendly to me this time/
But said the same words he said to me/
To people watching him from the windows.
And I would very much like to be with him/
And be his forever/
And he will be my forever.
