6. The Seduction

A thousand pages of photocopying
& it is night. You are leaving
the lit hive, stepping out onto
the street. Time to feed. Taller,
harder in the darkness, chilled
classics on your iPod & armed
with a killer chat-up line. A
petite brunette is lolling on
the library steps. Pillbox hat,
gloves, 40s chic. She smiles vaguely.
Do not fear me, you tell her.

last line ", you say." which to me is more intimate than "you tell her."
