Afterlife

[saw]

I never take a woman home
that I met ten minutes ago
in a dive like this unless she
uncrosses her legs like Sharon Stone

and blows menthol smoke in my face.
Nor was I comfortable trying to drive my car
with a probing wet tongue in my ear, but
I was pleased that I can adapt so quickly.

When you excused yourself to freshen up
I never expected a she-devil outfit,
the red lacy bra, the skull cap with horns,
the plastic pitchfork you prodded me with.

I thought only the soul brothers
still smoke Kools and costume shops
were only open around Halloween
but a guy I work with says,

"Fredericks of Hollywood has all that shit, man."
And if this really is Hell,
then maybe
I've been worrying about nothing.

And if this really is Hell,
then maybe
I've been worrying about nothing.
