Surfing the Cosmic Flow

The crypt coldness
of the alley walls
always bothered her
even more than
the bad breath
of her furtive clients.
Her thin shoulders
were bruised and scraped
by the bricks,
as the speed of fiscal passion
abraded foreplay.

Her working clothes
were a hentai fantasy,
short, with slits
and scoop,
and a mile of leg
disappearing
into leather micro.
Her eyes held that look
of reflective knowledge
found only in the better work
of a few Dutch Masters.

The mind-place
she visited while working
was an old friend
from a lost childhood:
a place to which
she continued to be drawn,
even after learning
her test was positive.

Sutra 2: Reflection is not solely that which we see in the mirror of Now, but is also the contemplation of why that image is.

I am glad I stopped in to read.  I like the edge and the description of a world that I know so little about.  The analogy to the Dutch Masters was excellent.
