What's In A Name?

by Quinlan L Gibson

GODBOY was the first
of my labeled men.
cut and college babyface
turned out, my brother's friend.
CAESAR was the next
A tall blonde Roman God
then he started talking
no class, no brain, no job.
Third there came THE DOORMAN
cute skater guy, hot lips.
Still keeping my eyes open
to catch another glimpse.
Then I met the HOTTUB GUY
laid back, hard vibe, polite
I cornered him outside a restroom
went home with him that night
Been with him exclusively
ever since that day.
Even when I met GQ
dismissed him right away.
The list continues on
as they catch my eye.
Although i'm lost in love
with my HOTTUB GUY.

Author's Note: Nicknaming men was how i explained them and who they were to my friends so they could keep track. This was when I was single and out. My HOTTUB GUY prevailed...

I remember having code names for guys. I still use code names for people in my life. This is a good one Prima!
