This next time he does it
in style:
convertible, chauffeur,
the whole works;
And in his retinue
a trombonist, along with that pretty girl
with a silken voice,
and a feller who’s a whiz with an electric guitar.
Make a big splash.
That’s the move: strobe lights on face
as he steps from the shaft.
Get a rise out of them
right off,
get them begging for more.
Royalty or not,
they’ll let him take her again;
but this time
he doesn’t really give a shit,
so he won’t turn
to see if she’s there.
