Limbs tangeling

Sweat staining the sheets

Panting onto the climax

Then only the distant noise of streets

The city rearranging itself

Helicopter flying by

His eyes wide open

Leaving without a goodbye

On with clothes

Catch next train

Wipe cold sweat off face

Fix reptile brain

Up and fleeing at 3 AM

Another offbeat morning

Cheap coffee in silence

Lifesaving don’t walk warning

Soft cautious kisses on a designer couch

Flashbacks run amok

Down the street still tasting the drinks

Soft indie on IPod

Rising sun and nonsense newspaper

Women are so naïve

Half awake contemplation

Pathetic tricks up this fancy sleeve

Lungs blackening

Dare to take another breath?

Cars screaming by a distant man

Having no time for death

Found himself a fast-food joint

Renewed his energy

Three additional people dozing off

Mind teeming with lucid erotic imagery

Opting to stay a bit

The clock on the wall in his favor

He’s got her number he’s got time

But he don’t need a girlfriend savior

Restless he walks out

In no real need of rest

Rubbing from his eyes

A broken heart a leg a breast

And through the day he stumbles

Until it’s again time to be sharply dressed

Put on a gentleman façade

And make another glorious conquest
