The Hit Man
In a squalid pet store on Hyde Street in the Tenderloin
He stands
Solid as a tower
Majestic
Powerful
Our eyes lock in a long
Embrace
I am spellbound
Riveted
To the spot
Slowly and steadily
He caresses my lips, chest, groin, and thighs
With his steely dark eyes
The huge scar on his neck
His fancy suit and gaudy shoes
Reveal his deadly profession
I shiver at the sudden thought
That tomorrow morning I may end up in a
Dumpster!
