leather coat

the banquet was full of prime rib.  women laced in corsets.  men sweating tuxedos.  he sat heavy at the bar, arms longer than expected - hair that held gel.  she sipped from pink madness and approached with a napkin spiked to her heel.

"may i?" she perched, pulling the skirt taunt under her ass like a christmas ribbon to a child's finger.  "i'm juliette."  she smiled, selling real estate between molars.  dipping her hand deep into purse, she pulled out a receipt scribbled in ball point madness.  

"care to hear a story?" she read.  he stood, dawning a black leather jacket.  it smelled like a beating.  the servers shouted last call for american slop and she put the paper to bed.
