Regal Cinema

Then, one day you said

Regal Cinema, not far away

From your present attention

 

Here, he said, pointing fingers

At one spot, (as though the moment

Was carved in stone and embedded there)

 

She came swaying her hips

And her garish lips

Smiling all her way into my weak moment

 

That day, may be it would have been

A turn round the corner, to the place

She hinted. But, when she said, two hundred

For one hour, I said may be a lifetime

Is not worth an hour of pleasure.

 

This way, many hours of pleasure and

Weakness succumbed to that lifetime

You and me speak of in this moment
