Virgin Strip Club

I sat there fully clothed; among
hundreds of bare bodied beauties,
swarming like fishes in the river.

They bared so much and yet so little,
and their forceful gazes conveying
unabashed desire for the greens.

They came at me without hesitation,
and all I could do was avert my eyes,
awash with sweat in a conditioned room.

I sat there fully clothed; among
hundreds of bare bodied beauties,
scared like one who knows not to swim.

Facing my fear, I met their gaze,
I committed the curves to memory,
for it is rude to not appreciate -

their beauty, their strength, their
hardwork in their remarkable showcase;
I felt my inner self surface through.

I sat there fully clothed; among
hundreds of bare bodied beauties,
panic stricken and white faced.

I sat there fully clothed; among
hundreds of bare bodied beauties,
forced to bare the self within.

I sat there fully clothed; among
hundreds of bare bodied beauties,
scared of what monster I might be.
