boys in the gym
lockeroom buds
ripe for picking
ammonia
gardenia
swelling with smell
of sweat and piss
boyhood flowers
ripe for plucking
drooping lilac
weeping willow
men in subways
men on the street
newsstand blossoms
open in the sun
velvet roses
and thorny pricks
daytime garden
overripe flowers
giving off man scent
give it to me
