Morning

I wanted her just that little bit more
Than I did yesterday because another 

Man wanted her also.

 

I was in a stripe club and broke before 

The sun was up. 

I walked home, the morning humidity 

 

Opening my pores for the gin to come 

   out.

Through the door and into bed.

I only imagined how the next fortnight 

 

Would look; I couldn't afford food,

I didn't know how I was going to pay rent.

But I guessed I would never set foot 

 

In that strip club again.
