Proposing

Now I’m used up

Can I use you

Can I write all sorts of stuff


White mini-skirt

Tight around your thighs

Heels only just holding on


Flying to every party

Catching-up

On all that you thought you’d missed


Old men can’t help

But be enchanted

When you blow smoke


Right through their eyes

Those younger men

Once besotted they can’t ever let it lie


The older guys

They help with your pretending

That life’s about something more


They blow to you

They go propose to you

Supposing that nothing’s ever new
