A thousand pages of photocopying
& it is night. You are leaving
the lit hive, stepping out onto
the street. Time to feed. Taller,
harder in the darkness, chilled
classics on your iPod & armed
with a killer chat-up line. A
petite brunette is lolling on
the library steps. Pillbox hat,
gloves, 40s chic. She smiles vaguely.
Do not fear me, you tell her.

killer chat up line is inspired - well done

thanks ipf, the chat-up line he delivers at the end of the poem 'do not fear me' is the one dropped by Dracula to Mina in the 1992 movie Bram Stoker's Dracula, probably one of the worst chat-up lines of all time!

A menancing sort of seduction, you've remided me, about time I left my lit hive, lovely phrase.

2nd line "& it is night.  You leave

the lit hive, step out onto

the street."........

 

last line ", you say." which to me is more intimate than "you tell her."

again a good poem, consistently high level of writing
