One Night Stand

one night stand of

smooth & absolute

dark

walnut

finish

(once soaked & lathered in

varnish, no doubt)

sits in the corner of the bedroom

reminding of the

madcap,

turbulently unbridled &

dare

one

might

say,

violent

pillow fight

had between two laughing teenagers

bursting with

energy,

in the attempt to drown out the

uncomfortably

cacophonous

sounds being produced by

two

consenting

adults

engaging in rough sex in the neighboring

apartment.
