32 Years Old and Cold

Sitting there with 
Rosie   Palms.
Heard a tape recently of when only nineteen; the likes in my speech gone  but still just obscene .
  night  while you watch.
An alien breed taking in primal needs; the static image 
forms, ungulate; depraved  ream.
 Re-played the scene; of re-playing me ; Me and space Rosie  addicted to skin.
No longer adolescent
  but developmentally  delayed?
mindful but ignoring the aliens backstory;splayed.   
She was young like me but now she's old and sad.  A  corporate
  pimp took her future  and reduced it to a broken loop.  .
Now that's all  left  for to make  protein soup..
