As it happened,
I was looking right at the young officer as he stood rigidly at attention
out on the parade ground. He was easy to admire in his gleaming high riding
boots and immaculate blue uniform. I envied the image he projected, sharp
and cool in spite of the heat, like a man who could handle himself in
about any situation. Imagine my surprise when, just as I was beginning
my usual fantasy about how his tall, lanky body might look naked, the
big trooper's knees suddenly buckled, he sank for an instant to a kneeling
position, his head rolled back, his cap fell off, and he just flopped
over sideways, coming to rest on his left side, lying motionless in a
sort of fetal position. I remember how strange his boots looked splayed
out like black scissor blades across on the grass. It wasn't unusual for
men to pass out during these long ceremonies, and immediately, two groundsmen
, as if following a familiar "show must go on" routine, hussled
out to the fallen trooper.One got a grip under the trooper's arm pits,
while the other grabbed hold under his knees, just above his boot tops.
They man-handled him almost disrespectfully, like a big rag doll, hauling
his limp body off the field at a jog. My eyes fixed on the unconscious
man's legs, or more specifically on those beautiful, highly polished boots
as they flopped up and down with each step. I couldn't believe my eyes
when I realized the two "clean up" men would be bringing their
unconscious cargo exactly past the point on the side lines where I happened
to be standing. What happened next was for me a rush of confusion and
wild excitement. Just as they reached my position, another man keeled
over out on the parade field, and one of the two bearers called to me,"
Hey buddy, you look like you're in shape. Would you mind takin' this guy
outa the sun for us.?" Before I could answer they were draping the
unconscious trooper across my shoulders. I remember my first contact with
his body was the feel of the rock hard muscles on the backs of his legs
as I instinctively grabbed hold of them to keep his body from sliding
off my shoulder and crashing back onto the ground. I remember being turned
on by this sudden intimate contact with a man I been admiring from afar
less than a minute before.His skin-tight uniform breeches (now pressing
against my cheek) and his shirt were moist with his sweat, and as I looked
down, I could see the silver buckle at the very top of his right boot
just inches away from where my fingers gripped his leg. I wanted to touch
the boot leather, but I didn't dare let go of his leg. I thought I could
smell his boot leather, or was that his cologne? That's when I pressed
my lips into the muscles of his thigh and whispered, "I
REALLY WANT TO WEAR YOUR BOOTS, MAN."
I caried him toward the back of the old reviewing stand where there was
plenty of shade (and privacy) as one of the groundsmen yelled back at
me, HEY! DON'T FORGET TO LOOSEN HIS CLOTHING! OK?"
"OK! SURE THING!" I yelled back as I disappeared with my hot
cargo behind the mostly empty stands.
