LIT

I surround myself with freaks
noodles
they are the only interesting things
would be easier
..just to march on down to pioneer square
hang with the yuppies
kiss ass, grab ass, buy-take drinks
tourist and spectators
So I take up to the hill
men take it up the ass there
it is the artsy district
the women there are tough
there is Wild Roses -few if any dicks
all just a hungry festering feasting pool
meat market for lezzies
I am eager to join there
but I remember the street man
he said:
they are feeding boy
feeeeeding
don't fuck with em!
.
I go to the Tiki
then the Bad Ju Ju Lounge
..there is a skeleton in foam from the roof
elegant sofas
1920 in still
I see some blond thing
the high school cheer leader past prime
she is crossing her legs
in black tights
she is now ..what?
Goth???
this new look for her is ...
clumsy
like a doe stretching a stance for the first time
she has that look still in here eyes
it says
I can do this-- I will do this
I will own this
I suppose it is just like high school for her
starting over-- building up
some clique shade or one other
she was mistress then
she'll be mistress now
.
I sit down between her parted legs
I am on the floor
looking up
into
her eyes
got a light?
she is surprised by this
mused by this
wondering if this be the game
if I knew the game
If I was the game
.
oh...
you know I do!
.
She held out a lighter
I expect some fancy zippo
maybe a pearled cricket
but
it is just a match
a small book of em
the ones...common
accessible
useful
I grin at this
pinch the smoke between my lips
getting closer to her lap
she's NOT one of them
smoke-em-if-ya-gott-em
only-when-I-drink
kinda girls
at all
she is committed
I am committed
and we light the fag
and burn it up
together.
