Call Girls

We talk about them as they form;
Tight, curvaceous, stacked with heat
Drawn from warm waters
Off the west coast of Africa.
We give them names,
And watch them move,
As if what weathermen have termed
The inter-tropical convergence zone
Were actually a hall with rooms
And numbers, numbers, lots of these.
Alone and fumbling with his keys
A man of business locks his door
While down the narrow way proceeds
A set of hips unhinged for more
Than motion down a corridor.

Why do I have this silly grin on my face  
As only you can do, Bob.  Well done!

Interloper .... Thanks. You know, up until a few moments ago this had the title "Hurricanes". I hope the switch does not offend folks here. Thanks again. Off to enjoy some of yours.  Bob

I just hope they swagger elsewhere... Allison and her crying jag just didn't know when they'd worn out their welcome! LOL. This is great, RMW... I enjoyed!

I had to read it twice...the second time with my eyes open so I could see past the title...cut the title had me expecting something else and between that and thinking about things right here, I was distracted

when I finally say their birthplace, then I understood

fascinating, fascinating metaphor, too
