The hook
Because I am what I am.
And I do what I do.
I leave hooks in the water, for people like you.
My bait is different, a curiosity you see.
I fish the bottom waters also.
That is where I knew you would be.
I put it out there, this is true.
Everything about me you already knew.
While I play with your women.
And have them freely, as my toy.
You bit the hook also.
Bringing me levels of joy.
And your secret I will keep, if I can.
I do not want "our" women to know.
I can also please their man.

I read this as a slam poem so for that I would have changed 'Bringing me levels of joy' to 'You wanted that joy'. But others are seeing it as a poem championing sexual diversity which just goes to show that there are at least two ways to read the poem, probably more. ?
