late night perils

'late night perils'

i loved the way you stabbed

cigars at the end of your stilettos

and cursed the newspaper deliveryman

in the half-light of dawn.

 i loved the way we closed

the clubs and cut the fat

through the muck of our disco fries.

 if it wasn’t for your budweiser mouth

i still might be in love.
