THE BLOWJOB

What steps must a poet take

In the silence of the streets

Surrounded by tall buildings

Walking, 

   __ __ walking down the street

Past the Infinity building

Past the Mezzanine

Past the hobo

Towards the building on Main Street

With its high gloss windows

And its gold lights

Up towards the top bar

Up Up 

On the 44th floor

Amongst the glitter and the glamour

Amidst the surreal

The fake

The unreal beauty 

$20 here.... Cocktail

Waitress in tall dress

Serving her breasts 

For men in suits

Leaving the top bar

Down 

down doWn 

Into downtown

All the way down 

In to 

And Un to 

In an eleVator 

Unbuckle 

  Unzip

Pants dowN 

MoUth to 

To crown
