FLOETRY

Where Late Night Creatures Thrive

by Charles

Though it sets women’s rights back 100 years

We look the other way

All is fair in love and war

…and entertainment

Please leave your values at the door

Morality dies past the cigarette-lined threshold

Indulge in excess

Lose any and all inhibitions

Arm yourself with one dollar bills

Naked actions speak louder than words

Life stories are kicked to the curb

Drink specials for 10 dollars

All of them armed to the teeth

Their weapons of choice, the five senses

Touch bare skin

Smell high-end perfume

Hear the catchy ass-shaking tunes

Taste the body-flavored moisture in the air

See them all…beautiful

Slaves to money and creatures of habit

Sliding, gyrating, softly grunting

Silver tongues fixed on elegant figures

Stay aware

The road leading here is paved with bad intentions

Do not stray behind the curtain

or you will find yourself a much poorer man.

A lonely pole is the manifestation of general consensus fantasies

How much fun has been had on it?

How many bad nights?

How many broken dreams have streaked across it?

How many college tuitions has it paid?

Love as a state of mind

Pay no heart

Pay no mind

Cash and credit only

Love that lasts til’ closing time
