steamy words
you were not my first target
while sitting in the steam room
as my eyes had started to go
to the opposite side of yours
an early departure made me notice
that right across my view
sat that gorgeous black skin boy
whom i had already seen in the locker room
“i like your tattoos” you initiated
while I proceeded to give you a tattour
that golden chain looked good on you
as many tattoos i would put on you
as more eyes emerged
we decided to leave the room
and do a brief stop at the sauna
where tension was felt quite soon
“time to hit the shower” i said
with no real expectation
other than crossing your eyes again
a quick adrenaline injection
i’m confident i joined you in that shower
at least mentally, i’d say
and made sure, for one last time,
that our egos had a final play
but luckily, across the locker room
i’d see that golden chain that I
kept as a picture in my mind
as you waved a timid goodbye
and so it will be
until we meet again
in the clubs, on the streets, or back
to exchanging steamy words at the gym
