I see her in a bar
next to the laundromat
she kisses me
on the cheek
and asks how I been
and I been fine
she’s doing wash
at the laundromat
I finish my beer
and follow her out
help her load her clothes
into the old station wagon
We sit in the wagon
talking and sharing a six pack
she had in the back
I figure that intimacy
of some sort or other
is about to occur
We start kissing
and I notice her feeling about
around my zipper
I look at her;
a bit overweight
kind of pretty
but willing to play
but I guess
I’m not much
to look at either
so I feel content
as she goes down on me
but then I learn
afterwards
that she was pissed off
because her boyfriend
had cheated on her
and I was her revenge
I felt like
a cheap piece of meat;
used like a tawdry ‘ho
but what the Hell?
It’s not like the shoe
has never been
on the other foot.
