PARTY, PART 2



i use the shower 
no towel anywhere
the cupboards are empty but for smells
so
i drip dry 
naked

standing there on 1980s carpet

naked

look at the phone
and realise
ANYONE in the world could ring in here
and
talk to me

look out the window
and realise
ANYONE in Kings Cross
can see me in here
shower fresh 
and 
bare

i use the bedspread as a towel
its thin
does half a job
and i stretch out on the bare sheets

look at the door
(its silent/its blank/its a question)
over my balls and bits 
and 
my stomachs heaving
and 
my white feet seem alien clear
hair sleek
from the hot shower

look at the door/its back to me
rude or respectful?
wonder 
if its locked
and realise
anyone in the World could come in here . . .
