Boys in caps avid at gringo gossip
Coked up tropical shirt frat bros
Tongues in throats
And men far too old (whatever that means)
slipping a tenner
or a twenty or whatever it costs
It's a meat market out here
With blaring lights
and nonsensical noise
skinny big hamstring jeans
Smile down with narrowed eyes
make me feel small and cute
ready to be devoured
and disappeared
Disappointed, but not not
later when it's too late
