How many lips
Of undesirable men has
The glass of my mouth met tonight?
Well-to-do men,
Men not yet men,
And men drowning in manhood,
Riddled into nothing.
Nothing.
I am filled with nothing
But dizzying goods;
But Mr. Kessler
And Mr. Hendricks
Incite me and cheer me on.
It’s loud in here.
The voices of too many men
Echo off my shattering exterior.
Bottoms up,
Another round
Around and Around I go
In this endless globe
Of lips forcing me into them.
Dizzy. I’m so dizzy.
Addled. Staggered. Reeling.
But Mr. Beam says it’s okay —
Just one more set of lips.
Until tomorrow.
