the city seeps through dusty shades,
perfect lighting for bare skinned beauties
sipping sex from upside down skies;
smoky elevation for the neighborhood hormone.
fuel-filled fingertips knocking on wood,
nails chipping between hair and sheets,
popping pretty solace pills
to kill the five star fish.
riots on mattresses, thrusting against conformity.
the climax of society,
the freedom of the beast.
