Poet's note: I remember a story of my fellow who happened to be in a situation where he had to have sex with fellow men to have to survive well, he didn't hate it after all, it fed him.
it is to this that I got to imagine what his first time must have felt like. And it arouses a question in me, whether it was out of free expression that he did what he did, Or it was out of self sacrifice but all in all, let it be a story
