You don’t know me
probably.
I’m one of the thousands of boys
who lusted after you
in your heyday
way back when.
I watched your show
on VCR
over and over
and over
until the tapes wore and snapped.

I have known you
for most of my life
and thought of you
through many a lonely night and
I never thought I’d have the chance to see you
meet you
look you down the plunging top
and thank you
thank you for making the best fucking films.

I shouldn’t tell you
how much my friends and I
enjoyed ourselves in the presence
of your younger self.
You left many a cold evening much warmer
with thoughts of you.
I’d like to show my appreciation
of all you had to do
with my upbringing.

If I could take you out
and give you one quarter of the pleasure
you’ve given me
that would be a fun night.
Just give me a few minutes
to work on the outfits
and I’ll be ready to go.
