Ask a hooker how lonely Tuesday night can get.

And oh how quickly
life can go
from the jetfuel rush
of not knowing
she's a bottle blonde
until you get her pants off

to the humbling realization

that you've stomped upstairs
after a shower so long
that the hot water ran out
and you had to scrub your own back
for lack of better company
only to realize in your dresser mirror
that you forgot to rinse out
the conditioner again.

But it's not so bad.
I aged her with my eyes.
