Free

By Dr Benway

Wrapped in a poorly lit bathroom stall,
"tear another hole sexy, maybe two just to be sure."
The pounding of the music slows,
long enough to hear a heartbeat,
Is it mine or is it hers?
I don't think it matters.

Sitting side by side,
swilling away on bittersweet gibberish,
cliché burning on my chapped lips.
A warm kiss and a warmer suggestion,
"It tastes like poison but at least its free right?"

Ya, at least it's free...

    this reads like a scene from a movie in my mind.... like an arthouse flick that's deliberately underrated..... the last line is a killer. thank you.
