Kickass Gen Z black
leather and echo of boots
on the tearoom tiles.
In Natty Bumppo
sneakers I dance in my chair
to her boots’ tatoo.
It’s cold out there and
I see only colors out
the steamy windows.
Appearances count
more in old age as opposed
to moralities.
Beauty survives sex.
I’d like to be known for that
maxim. Time-server
that I am. Restless,
too, as change-charged Eros shapes
every present.
