a twenty dollar nite with a two dollar whore

by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

my shopping list consisted of:
5 bottles of 3 dollar wine and
2 packs of winstons,
and the man at the counter
wished me a good nite,
we drank our wine 
sitting on the front porch
watching stars and cars go by,
laughing and listening to the radio
trying to be the 21st caller to 
win a case of beer and 
she only smoked my cigarettes,
giving them back to me with red
lipstick on the filter,
we finished the wine and 
then finished each other,
in the morning she left and 
i cleaned up the mess,
i was 19 years old with nothing
else to do on warm, summer nites,
and looking back it occurs to me
the whores still have my heart....

Reason for writing:

    trying to get back what was lost
