"Gig at Big Al's"
There is a special privacy on stage. Wearing little, then less, then nudity's silver high- heeled shoes, I dance to myself: the men
posed below at tables with assessors' gazes and the paycheck's sure prerogatives are dreams I've realized, my chosen
people, made-up eyes, my fantasies. I pull down dark around the room. I turn on sex's juke two-step. I set foot on the spotlight's
isolated space and grease my hips and lick my legs. With a whip lash of gin in the first row anyone can beat around the bush, can buy
my brand of loneliness, all possible circumlocutions of crotch. No one can touch me, by law I cannot touch myself. So none
of it is public, not until in one side door on his soft shoes my lover comes to watch.
