Life Is a Brothel / Lali Tsipi Michaeli

Life Is A Brothel


Life is a brothel she says
Zipping ten centimetres up the crotch of her
Diesel jeans

How many jobs do you have to take to remove your nose
from the rotten-egg stench;  how many chances do you have to give
the adjustable lighting
to sweep away for you the connections
to breath-gaps?

Enjoyed another. First stanza is great. 2nd stanza seems to direct a desire to relocate. Just my take.
