Riviera Lounge Woman
- The woman
- of the Riviera
Lounge
- pawns her beauty
off
- with winks,
drinks and puckered lips,
- filling hot and
steamy lust-buckets
- with the swarm of
cold, green cash
-
- she’ll bend her
body
- into shapes
you’ve never known,
- twisting legs
into a mold of dirty dreams,
- she’ll blow
your mind
- with wicked, wild
glances
- sliding around
the stage pole
- so fast it’ll
make your head spin off
-
- The woman
- of the Riviera
Lounge
- puts out small
moments to men;
- little love-buzz
moments
- that hover in
time and space;
- the
first beer of the night,
- bases
loaded with nobody out,
- Black
Jack! Hole in one!
- Check
mate!
- intoxicating
moments
- understood only
by men
- under the
influence of
- their own gonads
-
- The woman
- of the Riviera
Lounge
- stands like a
monument;
- an affirmation of
our own
- desire to spill
our seed
- onto bar stools,
- bedposts,
- shower drains,
- down the hole to
- Nowheresville,
New Jersey
- and eventually,
right back
- into our own bar
glasses
