series1bk3.2.2

 

My nerves a'jitter in a makeshift calm front,
the stunt of rising on two stilted legs
to beg the lady's presence beside me, dries
my red blood. But now the die is cast!
Elastic in my aggitation, I play the braggart
and swagger stumbling in a shackled waltz, courting
thoughts of fondling her naked flesh, enmeshed
in a net of sudden obligated coition.
Fished freshly from separate oceans, and grossly
foreign - one to the other - the deed gets done,
and the money, on sordid demand, is handed over
to fill bills spilling from her treasure trove.
     But now the carnal taste is on my tongue,
     I'll celebrate that life has just begun!
