I want a pair of Roman sandals
these have zippers up the side
not authentic, honestly I don't give a shit
I can hear your scorn in my head, your voice telling
me what the Romans were really like
you don't understand that I don't care
about the Romans
I care about you I listen
to what you say and watch the videos and enjoy them precisely
in proportion to how much I get to lean on you during
them I want a pair of Roman sandals I could pay
some stupid amount of money for authentic ancient sandals
if they would have you at my feet
naked begging to remove my Roman sandal
and looking up at me with longing licking
my toes
so gently and wanting desperately
to work your way up

mmmm
