The sobering smell of alcohol mixed with vomit

surrounds sailors’ drunk lust.

The dirty walls of the old worn bar

shake rhythmically with the loud Latin songs.

The smoky atmosphere pulsates erotically as the

Spanish whores laugh and talk quietly,

snickering about the seemingly

innocence of the young sailors.

The atmosphere grows heavier with anticipation

as the night grows longer.

The old whores' smiles fade

as desperation grows for recognition,

The young ones sweet perfume jaded

with the pungent smell of semen

burn the pride of the old whores.
