‘Infinite’
you came without
an invite
patted down
and here you are
at an awakening
the excitement of
an unprecedentedly perfect
drink of hot milk,
still, in the glass,
a meal of steam
waiting to leap
at your throat,
give it honey
will there be women,
will there be dancing,
slow and deliberate
behind plastic screens
at the press of //fingers//coins//
the wave of //notes//hands//
needle heels sucked
by ethereal rubber
neon asking
fingers traipsing
the threat
of a pink corridor
teal blue pixelates
into bright night that
is all that stands
between you and your fortune,
having the kindness,
the paternity
to make you wait,
clear your throat, straighten your suit
before you enter
