My Friday Fix

all the bars around here are filled
with locals
we don't like the locals
locals stare
and I don't dare drink more than one beer
since the last episode
inspired by the blues
at a candlelit table
but what to do
when it's late
and I'm unable to sleep
steeped in desire
I need to touch the fire with my fingertips
and carouse with sultry abandon
that is
I need an abandoned head
abandoned like a roadhouse
on a Tuesday morning
not abandoned like a crackhouse
after a shakedown
it's late
and there's a border to cross
kiss my wrist and look at me
in that yearning
burning way
I want to play a new game
shame can't be a rule
regret can't be a token
unspoken fantasies
can get us at least halfway there
and I'm not talking about anything
you'd find in Cosmo
or in the Kama Sutra
both are fine
but my Valentine has a bit more dimension
and honorable intention
I won't be bellicose or morose
if you lose my black silk stocking
leaving me with one
I won't come undone
if you let the pony eat the lone tulip
in my garden
but don't feed me a scallop
I'll gallop away
treat me like Santa's sleigh
filled with toys
you've got to deliver.
