play to win (Free verse) by peaceseeker
absolute and cranberry please
"it's stiff" he said
squeezed the lemon for me
enabling me, opening a tab
the scene was lame, but enlightening
donned my bare back, let down
bleach blonde hair, ends dreaded
moved my body to the reggae love,
transcending all else over and over,
brought you to my garden
toked into oblivion, under Mars
pretended it was 1996, life was easier
remembered the DC protest in January
then you moved in, I tried to explain
no casual sex for me, and you said
it's easier, acted mad, bought me a drink
then, was led to a British soccer player,
22 year-old player his words and accent
somehow seduced me into bed
I don't want to disappoint you, I'm
not going to do anything with you
eventually, I was naked and he tried
what were you thinking?
not much, just it felt right, relax
no way, you are insane, I should go
go with the flow, lay back, no hands
allowed, gut feeling, telling me to go, vodka no
I should go, leave me alone,
sat on the floor, covered my head with my hands
got me back on the bed, laying down
him on top, was leaving, it was too impersonal
don't give me your number, I never know
what country I'm going to be in
your host father came downstairs, saw me
didn't say a word, you said, "Hi dad,"
I escaped, unscathed, three AM, bridge up,
trapped on the other side.
