smokey bar
her forced smile
goes unnoticed by him

another tipsy night
bar smoke in her hair
walk of shame

no music between bands
the drunk man
still dances

full house
alone in the corner
he drinks the night away

low cut shirt
the trucker drools
as she passes

retail transaction
an older man stares
…where he should not.

he laughs at
a joke
he never found funny

a couple dances
his friends rate the girl
only a 6

working at the mall
looking at the people
mullets everywhere

elderly woman
adjusts her panties
in the middle of the mall

bags in hand
child wants to go in
the answer seems to be no

admist the stocked shelves
the nerd
is in heaven

bottom quarter champion

 

 

 

 

walking to class
looking at people
looking back

on the subway
sketch pad in hand
did he see me draw him?

taking a big puff
from a cigarrette
pumping gas

park bench
I am so glad I don’t laugh
like that
