The Princes

There's a saturation all around me
Dripping like some Seattle rain
Of gay man sweat from gyms
And vodka spilled on bars
Dripping down your stools
Dripping from testosterone needles
From ocean wet hair 
And dripped cum down the side of stomachs 
As you stand up to find your pants
And dripping puss from the inevitable 
Whoops shot in the butt diagnosis
There is so much dripping 
Among the name dropping 
Of my gayborhood 
That the princes of this town 
Are the ones that ride up 
On a white horse 
With an umbrella 
And ask you 
If perhaps 
You'd like to not
Have sex 
Tonight

And you look up at them 
Soaking wet 
With dripping tears in your eyes
That you didn't even know were coming 
And say thank you 
Yes 
Thank you
If for nothing else
Showing some of us
That we don't have to sit out here 
And get wet.
