Does Darlene need a man?
.
.
they noticed him first, but then
he was always the last to know, he was there
bobs and bangs, hips and lips, smooth sliding with each step, stalking fresh fodder…
their quiet ignorance made him
he made them Love him, manufactured each moment
like this one, moving two bar stools
nine and a half inches left, so the one he wanted
was where he wanted it to be, as if it mattered
he made it matter
curiosities exploded at his next
"Appletini, please" slid from taut lips, as he adjusted horn rimmed bifocals….for effect
and affected they were
"Appletini"….what!? Darlene was impressed
.

I see the perfect storm forming
I think YOU need a man, hp – but it won’t be this one. Time to let go of your suppressed tendencies.
Darlene’s slender leg
exposed from her skirt
Eyes opened wide
Lips puckered to flirt
Appletini…I’ll share one with you
And after, we’ll go home as two
This is very good, terse and cinematic, lots of appealing use of language.
you’re the appletini of my eye, HP.does sour apple pucker slushies impress as well? ice, pucker and squirt in a blender. my own invention.
i just realized how nice the words ‘pucker’ and ‘squirt’ complement one another…i think we may have something trendy here….should i call the us patent office now or after the party?
