Poverty turned pink
in the beds of strangers,
arranged to meet
several someones
for drinks, with
earnest. Oh!
what a nice long
(slightly soft)
chat, that afternoon pass
-port into the surf.
Foreign service
notwithstanding,
she’s left in a hotel
lobby in her skimpiest
bathing suit.

Fun wordlist from my Shawna.

oh, that ending. been there
Ha ha ha. Too much fun. 🙂
I love the way you made me picture a tryst with Ernest Hemingway. Also, it reminds me of The Garden of Eden, one of his books.
What a fantastic opening:
“Poverty turned pink
in the beds of strangers”
Also “not-with-standing” might mean “with-lying-down.”
Ouch.. never trust such tryst…
Ooh. Love the ending, and those excellent word breaks.
