A Young Man's Self- Abasement

(Embarrassment is a strange feeling)

Humiliation.  Embarrassment.
Posing for the girls there that night:
Pants down for the camera.

They might laugh or scorn
Was this what he wished to achieve?  Perhaps.
Or was it  just attention? Acceptance?

Humility? Or was it self- abasement
That he sought?
Or was it mortification
In order to
Feel better about his sins?

Bottom of the class,
He'd been at school.
Bottom of the league

Of success at work, he was.
Now standing,
his bottom bare,
At someone's home
Ladies laughing.  Smiling.
Smirking.

But he was OK with this:
He'd been told he was cute.
And this made him kind of smile.

A humorous poem, the picture was hilarious. I'm not going to ask, if that is "you" or not. Very inventive and interesting. Good work making me laugh. 

I was in an art class where we had to draw subjects that were partially nude, it was one of my favorite classes. Because, when I would try to draw the shape of the nude model, I would always look away from certain elements. 

Favorite part: 

Now standing,
his bottom bare,
At someone's home
Ladies laughing.  Smiling.
Smirking.

Good work.

Glad it made you laugh.
You needn't àsk but yes, it is me in the photograph- I think it's quite a nice photo if I dare say so myself...
  Thank you for your comments and feedback.
