Saturday Night Curiosity

Saturday Night Curiosity

A Poem by April Child

Hot pants, cold pants, no pants

high heels, hair gel, lip gloss

testosterone

eau de ego

jostling

wearing spillage

 

Peacocks

strutting c***s

fighting c***s

c***s

 

Saturday night curiosity

at the trendy provincial bar

decides to go home and

watch X Factor on tv

exit through nicotine fog

 

The difference between decades passing

is feeling you’re missing out by staying in

and knowing you’re missing nothing.

no... it just means your getting old.... lol

saw beuno be at a bar the other night... cuban crooner chicky poo salsa band in case you didn't know
... I didn't
no cover, great show, actually a decent band
I love it when I run into such novelties, reaffirms that you have to check out the bars occasionally, but just become better at assessing them quickly

great! i love how these seperate things all sort of mesh into a mirage of drunken perfumed and chauvenist sloppiness. hah! you have amazing line breaks here. it felt like walking through your mind.

The activities, places and things we felt a novelty, although having an objective dimension, essentially exist in the subjective perceptions of our mind and imagination.

Your poetic perception, creatively highlights this poignant realisation. Excellent!

Oh, I love this... what a good summation of popping into most clubs! Sure is a people rush isn't it! Last time I was out, I was wishing I had something I could write stuff down on because I knew I wouldn't remember every wild thing I saw! This is such a hoot - love it!

I absolutely loved this. Your words were perfect. The feel of it while I read it it was like watching it in motion. I had to laugh, because you were brilliant with your word usage. Great write. Rain..

This one I like. Telling what it's all about in a fun way. This piece seems to have just a bit of a jazzy feel...
no?

Great waft of worldly-wise weariness about this piece. 5 years clubbing and cool between the ages of say 23-28 is probably enough...you've got money to waste (borrowed) and have not yet quiet wised up. And of course 'men' of that age still have a desperate need to prove themselves. Love the way the first two verses capture a sort of physical deflation with the best line for me being 'Exit through nicotine fog' and the play on X factor.
