Naked: for all to know

 

 

So why did you do it

get naked

get an erection

and then let the camera

capture it

so everyone would know

 

why

 

because it happens

when I am alone

and I am not ashamed

for people to know

 

besides

 

i have felt the violation

of those

who undressed me

without saying hello

 

and

 

I thought

this would make it easier

for those

who imagined me without my clothes
