Accounting And Building

Projector beams down as slide flips
to next slide
equations
assets less liabilities
equal profits

the back light illuminates her in an
ethereal glow
as she slinks past
lilac and lavender
drifts on the air
a heady scent
pricks sharp on my senses
the sirens song of desire
of longing unleashed as her hand
planes the air off my skin

offers of a private tuition accepted
where
I teach her what I know of building
how to truss and tie
how to scribe a line to fit tight
screw it hard
she teaches me
about oral assessments
and where to
pencil in the hardest numbers
