Soft Porn Period

At the height of the AIDS crisis many of us were keen on keeping the erotic alive. From the days of 1994 comes this soft porn snippet exchanged via email — words being viral in a safe sort of way.

a hand reached for the frayed crotch. it was a gnarled hand. rough. it met soft denim faded and weakened so often had hands and faces rubbed there. it was an experienced hand. forefingers slid down behind the buttons of the fly and using the powerful square thumb as a guide parted the cloth brushed knuckles against the curls. no underwear. cock still trapped in the jeans. heat rising. the hand was steady sure and in no hurry to tackle the belt buckle.

yanking gently but firmly his pubes twisting and coiling them round his fingers he moved to ensnare more. his eyes rose to meet the fluttering eyelids and the lips slightly tensed of the man he held entwined.

the tugging stopped. the eyes opened more fully. a recognition and a beckoning.

I think the lack of capitalization adds to the piece. gives it a kind of flow punctuated by those dots that remind me of the buttons on a pair of jeans. like acupuncture pressure points. or better yet a line pilfered from Merrill's "Days of 1964" — "Spangled as with fine sweat among the relics / Of good times had by all."

And so for day 837
