I cannot fathom, Gellius,
Why your ruby lips grow
Whiter than the winter snow
When you wake up or rise
From your eight-oclock snooze
On a lingering day.
Must be a reason for it:
Perhaps it is true,
The whispers I hear that
You feast on the tumescence
Of men's laps?
Must be so:
Pitiful little Victor's
Empty nuts and
Your cum-stained lips
Shout it to the heavens.
