He wandered lonely on the road
With nothing to do and no one to
talk to
Unemployment and loneliness had
made him bored
When he heard a voice say “Do you
want to?”
He turned behind to see a young
not so innocent girl
With painted face, sensuous lips
and hardened eyes
Her saree like a flag over her
shoulders did furl,
And her eyes glittered just as
brilliant as ice.
With nothing to do; desolate and
with no one to talk to
His mind did stray from silence
to taking her away
For he just wanted to be with
someone whom he could talk to
And so he asked her politely if
with him she could stay
She said it would cost him a
thousand bucks an hour
He agreed and said, “That’s O.K.
With me it is fine”
For he felt it would be better
than going on a lonely tour.
She wanted the bread upfront and
not down the line.
He found her reasoning fair and
parted with ten big ones
She grabbed them from his hand
and asked where?
He asked her to share a drink to
break the ice, at once
She agreed and they headed for a
bar somewhere
She ordered vodka while he had
his whiskey
They completed a couple and she
loosened her tongue
She revealed the truth behind her
mystery
While he breathed in
companionship to which he clung
The hour passed quickly and the
lady wanted her fee,
For the second hour of happiness
and pleasure.
He fished out another thousand as
if it were free,
She grabbed the notes as if she
had no leisure.
“What next?” she replied, when he
offered another drink
“Aren’t you interested in taking
my body?” she asked
“You’ve paid for it”, she said as
another round did sink
I’m not interested in sex”, he
said and just talked
At the end of the second hour the
professional woman got up
He asked her to sit and
desperately offered her another thou
She looked at him scornfully as
she would a dirty mongrel pup
You know you are just a put on,
she said, just another pseudo
As she walked away, he sat
wondering if he did deserve such scorn
A harlot who copulated everyday
with multiple partners, faking many an orgasm
Just a cheap whore at that had
the temerity to call him a put on
While all he wanted was freedom
from loneliness which engulfed him like a deep chasm.
