One-Hundred Fifty Chest Hairs.

the weekend left your jacket unbuttoned
and that beard started to grow on your chin
if i didn't know any better
i'd think sex appeal was trying its hand at you

next you'll be buying me drinks
and finding passable reasons to see the inside of my apartment
once there you might turn up the heat
and have me dance to a song while you sing its lyrics to my cheek

Core emptiness.

The cheapness of reality can rarely afford the richness of a lusty impossibility.
