Intimacy

(CHAKA KHAN What Cha' Gonna Do for Me) this is not my graphic but…timely I guess

Wierdo was tired of them chicks
Bumping us around on that 1st floor;
So we investigated the 2nd floor to find
Home among more reasonable women
With mostly pool on their mind and
We got close with the Bartender who was
Old enough to be mother; now
She was trying to school me on some shit…
Conversations for days;
“Don’t let your Mother tell you who to
Give your bleep to,”
Challenging my career decisions;
“Where’s that gonna take ya?”
I hadn’t thought about it and the topper;
“Your money is no longer good
At this establishment; now I could
Put away some liquor so we felt funny; unsure of
Whether that was an invite or not but
That Xmas confused bought her a flannel shirt, candle set and
Burned some cds
(She played the jukebox so we knew she liked;
I didn’t start it but she’s like
“Thank you for everything but no more gifts,” so
She didn’t want me officially getting the wrong idea
(Free drinks continued; calling me street booty basically and
You won’t like everything you’re going to be in this life) but it
Taught me that there were varying degrees of intimacy; this one-
Unrelated to the pursuit of any “come up.”
