HIV '94

He was the door manager at one of NYC’s hottest clubs. He was the man whose ass you kissed to get past the velvet ropes and enter into drug madness. A beautiful boy with shoulder length black curls and a smile that could melt your heart. Ruling the scene at twenty one years old. I started dating him and we got along great. He was in love but I was not which I didn’t realize until years later. Maybe he’d say the same if he had lived long enough. We were both young skinny rock and roll fags and back then that was still punk rock. Everyone kept telling me.

DUDE, HE’S HIV POSITIVE. HE’S POISONOUS. BE CAREFUL.

People think they’re doing you a favor by exposing something tragic about someone else. I didn’t care if he was or wasn’t. People turn vicious when they’re scared of something because they can’t understand it. This was back when there were no meds, no assistance, no chance. The closest thing to hope was AZT and that sounded even worse than death. Everything is government controlled, you know. Thousands and thousands of people were dying from this new disease called AIDS. The entire world was scared. No cure just horrible death. Turns out he was positive.

AND STOP AND TAKE A MOMENT TO REMEMBER AND MOURN AND HONOR
THOSE WHO DIED.Photobucket

Testing positive for HIV was still a death sentence. Man will die a horribly painful death weighing in at eighty five pounds on a hospital bed and no one by his side. There’s nothing that can be done. A huge wave of death. A deathwave. Thousands and thousands and thousands of victims. A mass homicide.
I was the last person he spoke to...on the phone. In the end he beats it by jumping off the eleventh floor of a hotel parking garage in the French Quarter. That was crazy. That was heart breaking. Worst of all, that was unnecessary because new medical breakthroughs were unleashed on the masses less than a year later.
There was literally hundreds of people at his funeral. A sea of fishnets, combat boots, and died hair. I was the widow. Ha ha. That’s so funny! Actually, I was fucked up on some pills that somebody handed me the night before. He would have wanted it this way. Wouldn’t he have?

questions.

what is happiness…?
a crisp green paper or a heavy silver coin?
a shot of whiskey? A thickly rolled joint?

a long fat rail of Dominican cocaine?...
a little bit of joy inside each little grain…

is it the drugs that fucked me so nicely for so long?
Or the OD’s and blackouts that wrote all the songs?
How about the adoration that comes with being so angry…?
Until the picture caption reads ‘the bitter, the broken, the ill and me’

Eyes are closed in pain, hands open them NOW
NOW NOW NOW NOW

is it saying, “I love you” to the guy who lies to you?
he’ll turn you red and then he’ll just make you blue…
to be led on is to be shit on which is basically to be pissed on
…left crying in a pool of it for long after he’s gone.



is it the best friend who gently wakes you from a nightmare?
the shoulders to cry on should always be there…

(i remember the first ‘brother’ I’d ever had in my life
came at me from behind with a long sharp knife…
“I wish you had died in the hospital!!!” he hissed in my face.
that wasn’t happiness, that was just disgrace.)

I’m sure by now I’ve been disdainfully and tragically dismissed, deleted, erased from your mind. I’m sure everyone around town knows “how sad I am, because I’m really a sweet guy…but I’m fuckin’ nuts…”, right? Last I heard, you’d said that to a number of people…still counting….or what?
Hearing your accusations around town make me feel like making you the hot topic of conversation, more so than you’ve made me…except you wouldn’t be here to feel it like I am.
I would spare you in advance…and we would both go down in history, baby.
History fucker.


what is sanity…?

more like a semblance of happiness that’s really just a word
that made you chuckle and cringe the first time that you heard…
and the successes and rewards make you feel happy and secure?
In the end won’t make you feel naked and pure…
a façade to fool everyone and right down to yourself?
the wax falls away slowly as it drips down and melts…

you’re melting away.
And I feel happy now…

hardcore until the end.

remember the time he grabbed me as I was walking out the door of that dirty club… on the west side. meat packing district…back when there was still meat in the package… ssshhhhhhhh…..
took a car to queens…the summer moon high up above and I wanted to see what big Joel was made of …
speeding car down the west side…big J took me for a ride…

poppers and champagne in the driver’s seat
speeding the BQE like there was somethin’ to beat
swerving and skidding cuz our eyes weren’t on the road
we fucked on the hood of the car in the cold
our bodies writhing and steaming in the air
we spit on the flesh and that back was bare..
fuck lover, you knew all the right spots
the ones that got hard and made me feel hot…
with bite wounds tomorrow, like it or not…
you sealed that deal as soon as we shot…
urinal punk(CIRCA 1993)
we had studded leather wrist bands…and we were holding hands…

we strutted the village, we owned avenue A
young and hung and fucking proud to be gay
in the faces of losers screaming, “I’ll kick your ass, you fuckin’ queers…!”
you literally spit in their faces and pissed out your beer.
our heads were like robots and our souls were like guns…
we fired off on the world and burned up in the sun.
super commie queer boy punk rock lipstick thugs…
the OD’s, the lows. the highs. and all the lovely drugs.
yeah, we’d rip out our blue hair to get something to smoke…
and the heroin. the meth. the pills. the coke.

we would never seem to get our fill…all the times you threw up your pills…!

there was also those times that we played out like tricks…
pumping and stroking and wagging our dicks
in the faces of men that were smiling in the dark
handing us 50’s for a fling in the park
right around the corner and down the block
“yeah, that’s it bitch, suck that cock.”
we were getting off for 40 bucks a shot
swallowing the last drop, emptying the pot…
loving like pirates, we were living in ‘sin’…
then you left in a heart beat when your disease kicked in.

for that, I thank you…and FUCK YOU.

11years later, you’re still shootin’ that gun…
fuckin hell, kid, are ya ever gonna be done…
actin’ like such a fool…nothin’ more than a tool
you’ve become a lonely, miserable, staggering old mule…

and it’s not sexy, baby…at all.

I remember I decided to love you forever…

I like the view from here, I’ll stay up here…

my anal monologue.aka it hurts (my piece for The Anal Monologues installment @ Dean Johnson's Read for Filth Series at the now closed Rapture Cafe

when Mr. Joe asked me to read for the anal monologues, my reaction was an immediate YES! Anyone who knows me knows that what most people find disgusting or shocking, I find quite normal and sometimes even boring....i figured I’d knock out an essay on fucking someone else’s ass as my own path has been beaten but not very often, contrary to popular belief.

memoirs of my own anus getting fucked are far and few...but if I had kept a diary on all the times I’ve fucked someone else’s ass, well, it would be the size of an encyclopedia....i’m just sayin...im just telling it like it is...im not trying to get props...that’s what straight guys do, isn’t it? in this day and age I don’t even know what straight means anymore...or gay to be honest...especially when it comes to the subject of the evening....anal

so you want to talk about ass? ok,, let’s talk about ass...
the ass. the asshole...i’ve heard it called so many things over the years from different lovers and partners...sometimes being completely turned off to it just from one word and other times getting turned on as hell...just the word ‘hole’ if said correctly...(low growl) hole a... can make one’s mouth water... gay men are extremely creative and inventive when referring to the ass...let’s review some of the words I’ve heard in my many years of being a gay man in NYC...
there’s obviously
anus. and there’s sphincter.
ass. asshole. butt. butthole. oven. dug-out. box. trunk. garage. and one of my favorites-latrine. slut-butt. bud. rosebud. brink. eye. brown eye. winking eye. man-pussy or even just pussy. man-pussy ....slot-not to be confused with slit.
bottom. and in some cases- bottomless pit.
backdoor.
and as my ex-boyfriend Scott used to call it-his heaven! LOL!

depending on the words and the level of arousal, the whole scene can wind up shooting up into the heavens...
or crumbling down into the depths of disappointment and disgust...

so, is the *asshole for fucking? most guys would answer yes to that question...personally, I’m pretty sure it’s for shitting...but as sexual beings we’ve discovered different ways and inventive ideas to use almost all of our body parts to further our need to get turned on, get it on and get it off...i’d be hard-pressed to try and think of one act of perversion or kink that I haven’t tried, whether it be willingly or non-consensually....

i don’t like to call myself a top..or a bottom...as a matter of fact, I don’t like the titles in any sense. sex is sex. I would definitely prefer the word versatile if I had to choose a label but I’ve bottomed enough times to cross the title off the list.
the problem with me is that I want to be a bottom, I just don’t know how to...it hurts! it fucking hurts to have a big dick up my ass!!! finger-fucking, on the other hand, can be fun - like the time I lost my skull ring up a guy’s ass...that was a lot of fun trying to retrieve it...for both of us...
if I’m passionately tongue-kissing a hot man and he slips a finger or two in my ass, I’m bound to start writhing and moaning like a desperate horny bitch...which means, I’m not completely opposed to something entering my asshole. however, although I’m not crazy about the idea of getting fucked by a dude with a finger-sized dick either...
eating ass is also another good one...something about a wet mouth eating, licking with a probing tongue that sends me over the edge as much as eating, licking and probing my own tongue into a clean, tight puckered hole...
but out of all the years I have been sexually active, I honestly can only remember a mere couple of times when I truly understood why some people like to get fucked.! those times when I actually loved that big dick pumping up my ass...and those were all from the same guy...but that is the only credit I could give that guy...ironically, everything else about him was painful...
I understand why some guys.. and girls...love getting reamed up their asses...the idea of getting screwed in the ass is fucking hot to me...
ive looked at dude’s cocks before and thought in my head,
I want that cock up my ass and I want it hard -and fast -and to last!
but every time I try it, it ain’t fun, and I want it to be done, and I want to run. it always ends up feeling uncomfortable and painful.
when I was younger, I tried to convince myself that I hadn’t had the right guy fuck me yet. the right guy would know how to make it feel good, right? well, I’m not so sure that’s the case as I’ve had some very sensitive and attentive men try their best to ensure my pleasure and comfort...and by the end of it I just feel resentment for them due to burning stinging pain in my ass....so then as I got older I started to wonder if it was my fault that I couldn’t enjoy it...maybe I just wasn’t built for it...that’s possible right? I’m still waiting for the right guy to show me the light and free my inner bottom....somebody like..uh...Nick Piston. I think Nick and I would be perfect for each other...painfully or not.

one boyfriend of mine from back in 2001, was very excited to try and teach me the joys of being his pig bottom slut boy and eagerly stepped up to the plate. he would rush home from work every night and call me up saying things like,
“come over, my cock is hard and we got to work on opening up that tight hole of yours.....” I was in love with him...and I did really want to feel his love....deep inside of me - in every way...so I’d drop any plans I may have made and surrender the entire evening to dedicated ass play and experimentation...we were quite inventive in our journey to further my young hole liberation...he had a box of tools in his bedroom that he had thoughtfully acquired to help me learn how to take it like a man.
dildos. vibrators. the ben-wa’s...the whole catalog of sex toys..and then when those options were exhausted, there was the house-hold items...there were candles. screw-driver handles...handles to almost anything within reaching distance...various types of bottles...the electric tooth-brush...(yeah)... the occasional hair brush...and even an umbrella handle – don’t ever try that one...basically anything even remotely phallic would eventually wind up in my ass in efforts to try and open me up...

and then in the kitchen we had our hot dogs, sausages...cucumbers... avacodo...the various vegetables such as squash, and even corn...on the cob, of course...the avacodo never made it into the ring but was delicious none the less...
...he was such a romantic, that one...i would let him try night after night to pry my hole open enough to comfortably allow his big dick to slide in and out of it...
we went through bottles and bottles of lube and when that would run dry we’d use other means of lubrication such as vegetable oil, Vaseline, castor oil, hair conditioner, skin moisturizer-fragrance free, we learned the hard way...and obviously and most commonly...a favorite of mine and his....spit.

we worked hard and passionately at finding the key to unlocking my eager yet apprehensive hole...so that his manhood could be repeatedly validated and my ass could be repeatedly beaten like an abused object...to the point of finding myself at home crying at how much my ass would hurt afterwards...he would start off slow and gentle but as soon as he was too excited I may as well have been a fuck doll to him and he’d start pounding in me like a sledgehammer digging for gold. I would stiffen up and try to push him off and pull away but he’d pin me down and fuck me harder, my cries and pleas to stop becoming inaudible to his aggressive rape-like pounding...this was obviously not going to open me up and relax me enough to become his full-time bottom boy...after two years with him, I began to equate the act of getting fucked with rape...even the most kind and sweetest partners after him would appear like demons whenever in the throws of passion...i would liken myself to the innocent virgin willingly sacrificing my pure hole for the sake of love....LOL!!!
my desperate longing to understand how to feel pleasure from getting fucked in my younger days were sadly over-shadowed by my desperate need to please my partners...i foolishly would put their pleasure first and submit to being unpleasantly poked and filled with insensitive and rough...and usually very big dicks. after-sex, clean-up would often entail wiping away the cum....and blood from my poor hole.
eventually, my opinions and views on anal sex were those of contempt and regret...and shame...i resigned to a strict law of oral only, unless it was my own cock doing the fucking....

thankfully, after a very long ‘bout of abstinence, I was ready to once again explore my opened yet untapped limits of anal pleasure...who better to learn the appreciation of bottoming than from a go go boy... all go go boys are bottoms... they are. I fucked a lot of go go boys in the 90’s. and they all lived to get it in the ass.

J, is what we’ll call him, was a true pro at taking it hard and deep. We’d often disturb my room-mate and even the neighbors with loud thumping and banging around, sometimes rocking the mattress right off the bed frame...
J would scream....
“AH....ah.ah.ah.ah..urggggohhh..yeah...yeah...fuck me! uh.uh fuck me!!! Fuck my hole, man!!! YEAH!!! FUCK IT!!!”
sometimes I felt as if I should be embarrassed...but instead I felt a little proud...i couldn’t possibly imagine myself losing my inhibitions about being penetrated as excitedly and eagerly as him.
“Uh...yeah...you like fucking me, Jonny??? You like that,, stud?”
and clearly I did...
regardless of my bold, confident ability to give it, I still have yet to feel the same enthusiasm on the receiving end of the stick...
obviously, the only way I’ll ever learn is from an experienced, gentle and understanding top man...at this point, i’m not sure if they exist...
it seems to me that almost every guy I hook up with is a bottom...even the ones who claim to be tops usually end up begging me to stick it in...
the last boyfriend I had, harbored such deep issues about getting fucked and would get so upset if I referred to him as a bottom, that he would even start crying...claiming he’s not a bottom
but in fact versatile...
well, I was only going by the fact that every time we had sex, which was often, his ankles would immediately fly up to his ears and his hands would grip his ass cheeks and pull them apart...
i often would have to look down to make sure that my dick was inside of him because his hole was so loose....not kidding...

this is yet another detail that shy’s me away from bottoming...the last thing I want is to have a loose hole... That thought alone is scary enough to keep me comfortably on top...
i mean, what about the regular normal bodily functions...such as shitting? Does it just fall out randomly after years of being pounded by huge dicks or whatever else one may shove up there? The levels of resilience have boundaries too, don’t they? I’ve refused to bottom before because I didn’t feel clean...or empty...but some guys don’t care...a little shit on their dick doesn’t bother them in the least...obviously, it is to be expected but it can also be avoided with some simple precautions that can make everyone involved more comfortable and confident....Scat play is not ever an option for me as anyone who may have caught my last Filth reading knows...

whatever the act...fucking, fingering, eating, etc...i’m always game to experiment and evolve with my anus...
my asshole is still optimistic and hopeful that it may some day fully understand and appreciate...even love getting pounded by a huge dick...or two...or three...that horizon is bright and inviting...and I am a weary yet steadfast explorer....

pouring salt on the wound

ooh how it stiiings!

I want to set the record straight, clear this up before it’s too late
If only in my own head, if not for no one else...

i never asked for you...

i never asked you to be there for me
but you sought me out anyway
i never asked you to worry,
when the truth was all I could say
Im not climbing up on any pedestal
I prefer to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground
It hurts to recognize that I can’t have you
But I’ll be alright if you’re not around

the dog by my side is still in love with me
after eleven years, he still doesn’t judge me
feels like I’ve known you for a lifetime
but still you say you can’t handle me

yet you couldn’t stop staring at me...

Im not asking you for recognition
I already have it inside my head
The disease has broken in my door
But I’m still not dead

i know I’m stronger than most
somehow I always survive
don’t think I’m crazy for feeling so deeply
i can’t help if you make me feel alive
i would....
take this brain out of my head if I could...
i’d drain this blood out of my veins if I could...
i’d scrape these lungs out and wash them clean...
if I could.

these tears are like gasoline...my eyes are burning
the cold air outside is crippling the trees
and freezing the tears in the breeze

this heart is like a freight train
i’ve been de-railed before
but my gut is always telling me
that there’s gotta be more
than living in pain and going insane
my eyes are squinting
to see through the rain

i dropped the razor, unclenched the fist
that cut the skin covering this wrist
it’s a little too soon
to rub salt in the wound
i dried the tears and wiped up the blood
i’ll be alright when morning comes

A - not everyone understands creatures like us...
this is one for the clueless and naive,
the ones who will never believe,
the boys who are nothing but toys,
and the men whose ways will never mend...
and i'm a stronger one than them...
and we are stronger than them...

they could never understand,
nor should they...
nor could they...

in a cold world, they become frozen...

waking up just before the dawn
to another day of wondering why
feeling a little less than complete
on this park bench, ready to die

another cigarette before i fall asleep
another drink before i fall apart
and im stuck down in a hole
and ive taken out my heart

avoiding reasons within their lies
reading secrets within their eyes
and ive dropped them in the river
and i've shaken off the shiver

with me...they'll come apart
they will fall apart!

i won't ask them why
this is how they feel
all i know is that they...
will never see me through

I’m not crazy for feeling so deeply
would it help me feel more alive
if i could....
take this brain out of my head?

i’d drain this blood out of my veins if I could...
i’d scrape these lungs out and wash them clean...
if I could.
i'd drown them deep
and then hang them out to dry for good

these tears are like gasoline...my eyes are burning
take a deep breath before the tides start turning
the cold air outside is crippling the trees
and freezing the tears in the breeze

we will become subdued
they will come unglued
we will ignite the flame
they will become frozen.
