Initializing.
The cold embrace
with granite tile.
An unavailing
three hour stand
that's left you jarred,
clad in the ruin
you call yourself.
And a well worn whore
otherwise known as
the bathroom floor.
Without doubt,
she's had better.
Nevertheless.
Her blackened veins
shimmer and gleam
opalescent
in hues of pulsating neon
and fluorescent lamps.
Their ballasts drone,
resonating
off paper walls
and toilet stalls.
A steady hum.
Rhythm to guide
half steps forward
toward the leagues
lost in reverse.
Mirrors stare,
faucets whisper,
and clock nods.
Your pix elated visage
registering nothing more than
another stain on broken glass.
A phantom,
Trojan virus
depleting the air
of oxygen.
