Vodka and Condoms

Written a few years ago to a protege of mine, who uttered those words as an invitation..."Bring vodka and condoms". I didn't take her up on the offer. The recorded version of the piece, on blip.fm, and elsewhere, features her on the backing vocals.
-----------------------------------

bring vodka and condoms
she said
I heard
her say it in a sotto voce whisper
rough with fear and hunger
like a cat in heat in a cage
wanting something
she couldn't ask for in
simpler terms
because the words had sharp edges
nothing more than someone
to tell her what is expected of her
between the courses of life
when she wants to be wanted
as we all do
under the influence
of vodka and condoms
