down the street

heat beats down against
brown corduroy
struggle slip strut down the street

playing confidence like a toy
sticky blood between thighs
legs move heavy and slow like glue
think long and hard between sighs
think long and hard about you

I find cheap thrills neither cheap nor thrilling
without fail unfulfilling
and always a bore, sorry to dwell 
on a subject so sore
respect is a thing
you have to earn
the world owes me nothing is
what you have learned

and heat beat down against brown
corduroy
struggle slip strut down the street
playing confidence like a toy

legs move heavy and slow like glue
think long and hard between sighs

think long and hard about you
