She’ll check her look in the mirror
around 9
decide she’s ready for a night
to not remember
come daylight.
Battered by a love or two
she can’t refuse
to sink her teeth into
an apple again.
In a short conversation
she’ll confess
around 9:29
her life is a mess
but the search continues anyway
for a lasting fling
minus the ring.
I bought her a Long Island Iced Tea
sat back and waited
for the mule to kick her
hoping she would be
worth it around 10:15.
