Somewhere, A Future Poet Sleeps
by Erek Smith
She wore
high-heeled boots
and a tight leather miniskirt
that showed off
her big ass
and
a sleeveless
low-cut shirt
that showed enough cleavage
to cause
the mass suicide
of a ship full of sailors.

She came in the hotel
on the arm of
some famous rapper.

They got on
the elevator.

The rapper
turned to her
and said
"You are
twenty-one
aren't you?"

She said
"Twenty-one?
Shoot,
I'm twenty-eight.
I've got a
nine-year-old
at home
right now."
