W.H.Auden's Porn Poem
The Platonic Poem
Our eyes met. I felt sick. My knees turned weak.
I couldn't move. I didn't know what to say.
In a blur I heard words, myself like a stranger speak
"Will you come to my room?" Then a husky voice, "O.K."
This is the only stanza I can quote. The rest are pornographic but in rhyme.

I read the poem in its entirety in Vulture. thanks for the link, but not for this poem. auden may be a fantastic poet, but against heteros (like myself) and homophobes (I nearly am), his art stands no chance.
the poem makes me puke. or, to put it positively, makes me wish for puke (pronounced as Tagalog).
but the details. i took note of the rhymes for the dirty words. baka magamit ko later. quiz: what rhymes with vagina
