there is gravel on the floors on those evenings
and one can feel every pebble through the leather
as some slow nasty man music weeps with recognition

and the eyes of a willing lipped stranger whisper
recognizing my fragile sober celibacy celebration
and offering to buy me a few drinks and dances

as long as they are slow ones in shadows
or maybe down the street at the easytoenter inn
where the penthouse is by the hour mostly

but she has some coupons, maybe a lifetime's worth
and did I notice how she had ladylike folded there
boxed up as if it were being shipped to china

with the china she didn't use anymore since paper
blotted up the liquor better if it spilled some
and she knew we would both ruin some liquids too

trying to blend them into hammer proof gluing
