blue light special

the beautiful multi,
facially pierced
black girl wants
to know where to
get off the bus
for Aquarius Lounge-
plants her feet
on an Adidas
gym bag across
the way says, “I
got a long night
ahead of me &
I need some rest
how do you like
my hair? just
got it done today.
Matches my nails,
Midnight Blue,
that's my stage
name. Even my
piercing rings
shine under
the right lights.
Usually, I don't go
for none of that
New Age shit
but I hear tips
are good there
& that's all
that matters.
Hell I'd work
a K-Mart blue
light special if
the tips were
right
