blow
 

 lusty blonde vivacious woman
 face on the television screen

 she asks
 "do you want a blow job?"

 I tried to answer
 but she

 was on 'pause'
 the channel interrupted

 she could not hear my response
 which

 was
 'no'

 thin shaved head (Sinead wannabe)
 across from me

 at a coffee shop
 in a booth

 she asks
 "you want to come to my place for

 a bisexual experience
 with two lovely ladies?"

 I took a sip of coffee
 give my mind a 'pause'

 the music was really loud
 the lights were flashing bright

 she seemed disappointed to hear my response
 which

 was
 'no'
