the background

   in white

stained and dingy

   plaque

worn until nothing but

   a faint

      reminder of gemini

         remains

glaring bright

   color

florescent television

   screen

sweat glistening

false images of

   straining naked

      bodies

chipped laughter

   assuming

      that

         it's my own

spiderweb cracks

   in the ceiling

      graphic art

         unsigned

arid odor

   unmistakeable

blood on the sheet

painful

   pleasure

moans

   lamenting

false

   first impression

forty dollars

   wasted
