I Need It
I need it and I need it now
She said
Curing her lips
Squinting her eyes
Ready for war
It’s never right and I’m quite busy, ya know
She said
Absentmindedly, but directly
Expecting to be screwed before it happens
As I prepared it for her
Dose by dose
The sunlight shined on her nametag
Debbie, is it?
As mine went ignored
Measured breath broke my thoughts
Sighs
The tapping of acrylic nails on faux marble
The sense of obvious demand
I need it and I need it now
She said
Once more with feeling
Or her equivilant
As I put the cap on
And passed it to her
With a smile
As she clawed it
How interesting
I thought
As she sauntered away
That I live in a place where
We judge others
Call them weak
Poor dumb bastards
And then we need a coffee
To survive the day
