Napkin Folding Art vs. Ejaculation Folding Art
Antler
Just as there's an art to folding table napkins
into fancy shapes on ocean liners,
So there's an art to folding cocks
into fancy shapes in the buccal orifice,
So lips, cheek, mouth, jaw, tongue can flute
ejaculating sperm into exquisite shapes
as it bursts
so the interior of the fellator's mouth
receives the spurts of come
In the shape of a soaring eagle
or leaping dolphin
or full-sail clippership
with figurehead of naked boy ejaculating
or white marble statute of a naked girl
embraced by the boygod
as she turns into a tree
or a miniature scale-model
of the Parthenon in moonlight
complete with temple doors opening
to glimpse inside
or in the shape of fallen leaves in a pool
reflecting silhouettes of trees they fell from
and the stars.
