In honor of gay history month, two of James Broughton’s semi-racy gay poems from his book Graffiti for the John’s of Heaven. More titillating poem titles are below!
Take good care of your dangle
Raise your dangle with care
Pay him tender attention
Take pride in the way he grows
See that he meets the right people
and gets regular daily workouts
Give him every opportunity
to make the most out of life
With just a touch of encouragement
he can rise to sublime occasions
So take good care of your dangle
and dangle will take care of you

I am in love with all things erect
I am in love with the erections of man
steeples derricks pyramids
pillars and pylons towers and turrets
totem poles flagpoles pole vaults
I am in love with things firmly erected
minarets pagodas campaniles
all the monumentality’s of man
I am in love with all things erect
particularly homo sapiens erectus
the tower that lies down and can arise again
man the phenomenal erection

am in the running
I am out there running
I am running after the election
and the reelection
I am promising to be the most desirable
man in the office
I am promising to be the most promising
promiser of the year
I am running all the way
I am running on a rapture platform
I am recommending the enactment of
national hugging
I am proposing a motion for increased
kissing returns
I am legislating for compulsory
fucking security
I am working on ecstatification for
the entire electorate
I am promising unlimited untaxable orgasms
to every voter in the world
I am still out there running
This book also includes many racier items like the poems “Nipples and Cocks”, “God and Fuck belong together,” and “Erotic Fitness Program.”
