| i am with a smalltime orchid
thief and a dealer whose face reminds me of the floor of a gas-station bathroom we are sitting beneath the dangling of a nude bulb in a small dark room off mcnabb credit card on the table ashtray brooding our souls smoke travels the air like a sleek blue cat and suddenly a door opens in the hallway some brutal fat guy with stretchmarks on his arms and a youngish latino whore whose hips plead yes no please poppy nada nil this room emits a dark and poisonous sadness as they kiss and my eyes are drawn to a spider waltzing ever so silently along the windowsill, the first noble creature i've seen all night |
