Conveyer Belt

Serve lush lies

on a delicate breath

wrapped in a station

holding flowers

and condoms in a blue case

two things essential,

one to say thank you

the other to spare the

piteous smiles of pristine nurses,

gum clinics, abortionists tables,

what would it matter?

Most of this would still be removed.

 

Flick eyes up

over fizzing cans

two straws roll on lips

and train track rhythm

as teeth bite down

(could his need for fellation be more obvious).

 

Arrive at the destination

and fidget under clothes

for keys and *******

against the wall

******* taut

and dampness under bra

as the door swings open,

"the bed has fresh sheets

just for you"

 

You're supposed to be happy.

 

Time to smile.
