Bottom Feeders

Bottom Feeders

A Poem by Somebrownnerd
"

I work as clerk at a gas station. Just another midnight event.

"
Rotting behind my desk, listening to the ice machine bombard metal with blizzardous content.
The chiming of a door's ring.
Fighting self contained lust, while simultaneously making greeting to the bobbing head of a beautiful blond.
Descriptions of a blessed body:

Worn top, masking plump filled poise, exposing glitter glossed mid-drift.
Followed in suit by neon blazed shorts revealing tight wanton turf.

Clues, directing towards occupation, point around pole, and under light.
All confirmed by that,
Dirty - Prosthetic - Smile.
She beleaguers my sinful notions, moving in seductive circles.

Isle 1.
Isle 2.
Isle me.
They definitely need a clean up.

Sliding a almond cluttered bar, bathed in black, across the counter's lacquer, she demands value.
Flipping the crackling sweetness, I tap tactfully at the numbers:

One - Seven - Nine

She retorts by, emitting a bemoaning chuckle, slapping two bills to my attention;
Following it all by a "Keep the change".

Tucking the tender into its proper position, I stand ominously; doused in a bleach stained shirt, and fringed pants.
All the while thinking,

What the hell am I doing here?

Your wonderings brought up recollections of when I worked the graveyard shift at an old hotel... You truly paint your words with those darker edges of thought that pull one into the moment.
