Business Affairs

line drawing of a woman holding a finger to her lips

Imagine then

his great surprise:

when all but there--

a credit check applies

before she'll allow him to start,

this illicit affair with her fragile heart.

"Be mine forever, I thee implore,"

he pleads, yet she stays close by the door.

Hot blood courses through every vein,

his lust is driving him quite insane.

She holds a finger

to her lips

fastening up

her undone zips,

breaking the silence

of the brief hiatus

"Our love," she purrs,

"is subject to status."
