electronic brothel. rhinestone
studded glint of 2-bit girlmachines
lined up along the walls.
slim-hipped levi’d saunter,
passive glance, gumchewing jaw.
looking mean for plug-in
jezebels/casehardened players.
don’t do her. she’s easy.
no prestige in taking her. try
the unmanned hussy in the corner.
go with her the distance if you can.
madam smoothly takes your dollar.
reach for clanking quarters from her skirt.
slow. size up the hellcat. drop
your money in her slot.
set. push buttons. action.
how long can you make it last?
do you have the moves?
how high is your score?
neon, programmed moans increase.
ride her/hit the target/you’re a man.
ecstasy. GAME OVER. c’mon
sucker, try again. she can go all night.
can you?
glittering electric whores,
computer passion’s siren song
beguiling, beckoning the johns.
digital orgasm of voltaic culture.
