6:50, in the shower
plugging into the night forward
plugging in the hairdryer
then, mascara, eyeshadow, silky, shiny hose
a dime a dance is how it goes

you bring your choice baby-tease smile forth
you clipclop in your dancing platforms
wearing a simple, yet sexy dress
speaking the language of perfume and sable prose
sip-a-fast soda
and display of charms for each and every offered dime

you are to deliver only a fantasy
and never get too close to the soldier
but, tonight would be different
as your legs lock into syncopation
so do your lips
your thoughts in levitation
the delusion dissolving by his very presence
and it is then more than just
a passkey performance

as you dance ever slower
pressed ever closer to him
and you don’t want to just be
another bebop dilemma for him
