 Nude Model Audition Over The Phone

“A trash compacter
spit me out”
she tells me 
over the phone.
All negative charm 
and more than 
halfway stoned.
She wants to pose 
for me if
I got the cash.

“I don’t need drama
doll,” I say over my
brand new  phone.
Electric white noise 
humming in 
the background.
“Save me baby “
she begs, I need a fix 
before the sun goes down. 
I say no 
as the line strangles with
a dying pause. She
leaves me with slurred
words of a sexual outlaw:
“If you change
your mind
I’m yours to cast.
I’m on Alvarado 
with the whores 
and the trash.
Say the word
I’ll bring my own chains 
and my leather 
mask.”

Hmmmm…OK, I say 
and give her
my address.
