Approaching the Edge

Horny as hell, but I didn’t ejaculate.
I don’t want to come when I’m alone.
I can self-stimulate

all day if I always manage to hesitate
on the verge, within sight of land.
I’m horny as hell. Sometimes I ejaculate,

but that’s disappointing, because I’ll have to wait
a day until I want to come again.
If I don’t self-stimulate,

I can at least dust off home plate
and take practice swings before it’s my turn
to bat again. Maybe this time I’ll ejaculate

right over the center-
field wall, round the bases, and trot home—
just a self-stimulating

fool, while the crowd ululates
and my mates cheer and spray me with bubbly foam.
The whole world ejaculates
when I self-stimulate.
