i am headed away again
away to the bars of oblivion
to meet another nameless man
who will tell me i am pretty
through his cigarette smoke
and alcohol stained breath
and i once again will
try with everything inside me
every childhood fantasy
to cloud the fact
that this anonymous man
will join the list
of every other anonymous man
who has liked the look of curly hair
or the revealing shirt
through his corona eyes
and his vodka mind
one night of attention
to pretend to be loved
only for the phone
never to ring
