Fell off the barstool
with forty bucks worth
of bottom shelf blowing
in gut like balloon animals.
Invisible and irrelevant
when a platinum blonde
with serial numbered
silicone busting out
of a designer dress
stepped over me
with her stiletto heel
coming off in my mouth.
Not quite impaled I spit
out the leather spike
which the femme fatale
grabbed with a cocktail
napkin while pitching a fit
of fucks for stepping on shit.
