Papi once told me,

si quieres ser un

hombre verdadero

necesitas caminar

como un hombre

verdadero With your

intact cock in hand like

a sword getting ready to

conquer cualquier pedazo

de nalga that you

desire—

Papi, my favorite color es el

rosado. Eres maricón?

And I want to wear a falda.

Eres Chica?

Right hand on my

cock

a failed patriarch

of your patriarchy Perdóname

chica but I just want

to come to the conclusion of the

understanding of my testicles.
