Gin and Tonic

Salty words dance the air
fringing nerves
and putting smoking gun in hands

They all cling
like wet clothes
to a tired body
heavy and cold

Eyes peer across a somewhat empty space
searching corners
to put stories into brains

Fleshing out plots
to catch men
in a tossed soiree
smoking and black

Hands feel pockets
crinkling cellophane
bringing filtered pleasure to mouths

Igniting match
so to smoke
and hide a smile
twisted and knowing

that..

If I was a small child
I would probably be
scared of Keith
