on occasional tuesdays
or thursdays sometimes
you would come play me
at the arcade
in the corner
by the window there
where the sunlight would touch
an outline of woman
and a girl's hair

you would bring a quarter
enough for one time
you only needed once
you said
any more than that
was too much
for your balance
and could become
and addiction

sometimes if another was there
leaning on me
or pushing my buttons
and putting her perfume
where yours still lingered
you would bring more quarters
and stand in front of me
waiting impatiently
until they left

then you would leave too..

I am sure I am not reading all that I should be from this, but then again, check the time!

I'll be back...

perhaps quarterless, but back all the same.

you read it
as you should
but you are welcome
to lean
even without
quarters

thank you

flashing lights lure
challenging,
think you got it goin' on?
promising
a good time
until the quarter's
swallowed whole...
and no satisfaction
except a good kick

Drives ya crazy, doesn't it? Nice write, DS.
