a wet slick-lipped outline in red
waits for the unwary

the single traveler, alone,
always a good mark
flip a quarter until he gets close enough

watch it glint heavy in yellowed light
spin out silk, watch it itch

hitch your dreams to the exotic tonight
the sway of hips and lips
may just hit their mark early
