I'm Saving Myself for You Todd Pierce

I am Bathing in a Tub of Holy Water
  to Wash away this stench of sin.
I Hereby Cut off the Finger that has Traced
  the Lips of Men whose Names are a Mystery.
I do this in your Splendid Name.
  Want you to know that I have gone Cold Turkey
on Tearooms. I don't get into Cars with Complete
  Strangers. Not like I Used to.
I'm Building a Bonfire of Gay Porn Mags & Videos.
  Jeff Stryker is Reduced to Fireflies of Ash.
Dried Semen Smolders in the Night Sky.
  I have Flushed Poems about Guys I have had Crushes
on down the Toilet along with the rest of Human Waste.
  Posters of Half-Naked Men have been ripped viciously
off the Wall & thrown away with Left-Over Cold Pizza.
  You're the only Man for Me.
I don't eat Red Meat. I've Switched to Diet Drinks &
  Bottled Water. Attend Church every Sunday.
Wash Behind my Ears. I Walk Old Ladies Across the Street of the World.
  I don't Swear as Much as I used to.
Perhaps an Occasional "Damn" or "Fuck," but other than that,
  that's about it.
You are Worth Getting a Sex Change for. I
Have Sworn off Cigarettes & Masturbation.
  Fix your Favorite Food.
  Buy all your Favorite Movies on Video.
Just want to Run My Fingers through your Hair.
  I want to see Myself in your California Eyes.
Want to Touch your Skin of Sunshine.
  I want to be the Submissive Sales Boy at Dilliard's
taking your Inseam Measurements who
Sells you a Nice pair of Cargo Shorts Seventy-Five Percent Off.
