not my style

ok so this isnt my usual style of poetry  but it poped into my head when i read the lines payment in advance somewhere else.  isnt it odd when the muses choose to pounce? oh well such is life. enjoy it  dont enjoy it whatever you like

 

Payment in advance

 

Body to body hunched

A surreptitious look around

He swipes the money

Waded in a grubby palm

His reptilian stare

Slides down

once luscious curves

considering

weighing

 

shifting from foot to foot

eyes never lifting above

the lie his belt buckle gives

lank hair hides her face

palm up waiting

for white deliverance

that tiny thrill

that silver chill

 

a whisper , a nod

dirty cash

exchanged for

dignity and hope

here the reptile walks

on two feet

and all payment

is in advance.
