An old dull silver tray bought from the thrift store last polished never Sits between us, holding a half emptied handle of rye, two rock glasses Adjunct ice bucket and a handful of spansules all neatly lined up in a row Like candy for the taking Too late Existentially snuffed out 'Yes' I thought, there's a good start But existentialism is so boooooring dear, such a dry, ****** passe affair, pedantic really She groans out her words elongated like some big queen of England Sitting on her royal *** smoking from a long black cigarette holder I pull her towards me roughly slipping quickly into thick, thickening Newfound (land) accents "Listen here missy, you're no Audrey Hepburn" Brashly kissing bright blooming vermillion lips "And you're no John Kennedy" Playing dress up S&M; cosplay games de la haute societe Cruel broken bank account pauvrete down and out facade Tho this is neither Paris nor London Nor do we find any satisfaction in our destitution I am not a plongeur et vous, Vous etes rien qu'un petit ami du nuit "I'm not your ***** All part of the act Or so I'm told We've forgotten who we really are behind these vaudeville masks      The world less lucid, less clear, receding gently tho greatly          Day by lurid day
