ANTLER

Come Brothers

Why should two pals cut their fingertips

and press the bleeding cuts together

to pledge their bond,

When they can suck each other's cocks

at the same time

and swallow each other's come?

Instead of blood brothers, come brothers!

Isn’t sublime 69 a better way

to prove love?

But either way

Why can't our best boyhood friend

be our best manhood friend

And a vow of lifelong friendship taken in boyhood

between two 14-year-old boys

last forever?
