Some Gin and a Sobering Tonic.
Enticing eyes that tease,
lips bent in a suggestive smile,
body language that says yes,
fingers touching my leg,
as she chats on about how,
nice it could be
if I bought her a drink,
leaning in snug
against my shoulder,
laughing at all I say,
as the wallet comes out,
the liquor is poured,
and she sips it
gratefully kissing my cheek,
promising more with her hug,
then suddenly....
another hand grips my shoulder hard...
angry eyes flash wrath,
lips curled into a sneer,
body language that says trouble,
a quick glance at her
ring finger on her left hand
standing out strangely pale,
as her husbands fingers
fold into a fist
and attempt to collide with my jaw,
I block and counter-punch
gut level, and he collapses
like a exploding paper bag,
her eyes wide in shock
beg weak apologies,
lips pursed in a large O
fingers reaching for her hubby,
as I grab her drink,
and pour it down her bodice,
and exit her deceptive efforts
to lead me on,
just another Saturday night,
amidst the lonely and the
disillusioned,
in Any-town, U.S.A.
