the stench of garbage
faint smell of Charlie perfume
ice skates askew in the meandering hallway
Pine Sol
lingering in the dead air of the tenement
dark in the corridor
squalling kid somewhere
cigarette smoke filtered from rooms
strains of Bonanza on television
all lightbulbs busted out
worked to our benefit
heard the swish of your nylons
as you walked ahead of me
seemed to know where you were going
hall dead-ended
you groped for something in the dark
we quietly eased inside
utility closet
you reached above your head
pulled the light cord
would you believe it came on
we fornicated
by raw light bulb

later
driving home
I said
"I get to pick the place next time"
its our game
we are never bored

This poem raises a smile, and a stocking gift suggestion of a flashlight key chain/ring.

Easy, I heard that, that would be a good stocking stuffing item for sure. Thanks.

That "Charlie" perfume?

The memory of that chokes me still...
for so many reasons...



Poignant.
