I'm a calculator. I calculate your availability.
You have nice hair parted nicely. You have clean apparel.
And sweet smelling skin. Recently scrubbed.
You are ready to begin. You are ready to jump in.
I'm calculating. I calculate obsessively.
And just for the hell of it I am imagining that we get intimate.
And just for the fuck of it I am calculating.
I calculate. I have missed so many possible trysts but I move on.
And pass on the information.
The emperor's robe hangs open. You can see what's inside.
Your eyes are alight. Your fangs sharpened to knives.
Your feathers fluffed up high. I wish the best upon you all.
I hope you all get laid tonight.
