uh... the first one's uh... it's a bit sexy.
It's a Friday night I had a couple uh... weeks back.
- It's a bit awkward because my mom is sitting over there for the first time... -Filming you
Filming me. She's all the way down from Jo'burg
um... Okay, this poem is called Hedonist Twist
the alcohol blur rests heavy on my temples
my head drags behind itself
tobacco-marijuana mix burn on tongue and tonsil
warm body, warm lips of nearly stranger tucked under arm
best friends
we've only just met
pass cheap quarts
stranger's fingers curl on thigh too far up
stage-whispers sex in my ear we're drunk who cares?
stand up
the music's here
our mate behind the Macbook
ready to move us like puppets
the thud-thud rhythm of heart and speaker
in the chest cave ripples through
legs kick hands flex eyelids shutterclick closed
freezeframe flung hair blur and hipswing smile
stranger pressed up tight
she wants me
we won't stay long
just until the hedonist twist fades
