I want to be reincarnated as your jeans
by Shane Allison
Torn and discolored.
  My arms will play as yr pant leg.
The very mouth I used to suck cock
  with will come as the copper zipper.
My pubes are the very threads that
  make up the inseam that cuts between
yr inner thigh. I can feel the joy
  in being a favorite pair of your jeans.
Especially in public bathrooms where
  I'm pulled down relentlessly to those
creamy ankles. The belt hangs loose
  and limp on floors that look like
they haven't been mopped for months.
  I would fit perfectly at the butt,
and around yr 32 inch waist
  directly below stomach, chest
and a land of freckles.
  And when you're done
pulling me from each
  lovely leg before a hot shower,
I shall hang pressed on a wire
  hanger like I was never worn.
