I. The Rocker, The Lady, And The Sobibor Striptease
More nude than dead
This brings new meaning to the term
BONE
Adam's stolen rib is multiplied
And skin stretched tight spurs nausea
But what a bargain at six bills and a Coke
She leaves her (pyre?) platform
And the semi-graceful harpies
Circle the throng
Seeking paper to stuff in G-strings
I'm just going to drink my Coke
II. Fluorescent Pink
Strobing
Strobing
Black lites thrust fluorescent pink
Into the foreground
Clothing separated from flesh
Thru vision, beyond reality
As men line up to catch a glimpse
Of fluorescent pink
And thus, potentially
A subtler shade
I'm finished with my Coke
III. Ghetto Booty Snow Bunny
She's got some beef on them bones
My my
that ghetto booty snow bunny
With the dropped beats and skitters
Shorty got herself in deep
The roll keeps goin' on and on
I can tell that the fur's gonna fly
And it ain't gonna be pretty
She straddles his head
In sanitary 69
And his torso is gone
She stands to caress her lines
And receive the offerings of her followers
Sacrifices for a fertility goddess?
I'm sure they don't see it that way
I have another Coke in front of me
IV. The Fat Girl Don't Get The Cash (A Haiku)
Circling the room
No takers for a lap dance
She is pathetic
V. Atmosphere In A Minor Key
Paisley rockstar day-glo
Listens to the bass pluck
As Larry King and Colin Powell preside
Disembodied tlaking heads
Over hte secular landscape
Lucifer is alive and well and he lives in the pussy of a dancer
Waiting to take the stage somewhere
But not tonite in this building
Not tonite
I'm halfway thru my third Coke when we leave
Now thats pretty good, or pretty bad when you can write a poem in a strip club:-)
My husband and I spent alot of hours and a alot of dollars in those places back in California. Met some very interesting girls...and I too have a few "stripper poems". Oh by the way, we live in Ohio too.
