I never get boners
from women
I see in public
but this woman
going into
the salad place tonight
gave me a boner

she was young
pretty
and healthy
going around
giving guys boners

I wonder if she knows
she can do that

she probably never thinks about it
after all she’s gotta get to the gym
or pick up a salad
