reggae nights:

He always falls through
the U-club
on Thursday nights
trim hips in
baggy pants and
black alligator boots.


the Earle:

His louder cologne and
persuasive grey eyes
secure the unreserved table.
Their waitress compliments the ensemble
     his reptile belt
     his cashmere cardigan
     his woman's taste in men


passion:

He sneers at women who
tug at the elastic on his
Bloomingdale briefs.


tres chic:

His delight in shoulders,
steel drums, and nigerian tits.
