John lives and works in West Palm Beach as a junk bond trader, after relocating from
New York City. He is completing a collection of poems about Palm Beach and wrote a
novel, Guardians of the Secrets, yet to be published. But, you know, keep an eye out
for it.
Breakers Escort
Come to me now I’m all alone
With no friends only you tonight
You the only thing I need
A beautiful young woman new
And I’ll let you go no regrets
Alone in my room at The Breakers
Perhaps some music pretty girl
Your like Roxy Music or Sade?
I’ll pour you champagne from the minibar
With some honey-roasted nuts or chips
Room service here is great
The Lobster Thermidor is good
Cocktail shrimp might be nice
Or we can go downstairs to a restaurant
Walk along the beach for conch shells
If that’s what you might want lovely
And just talk before the waves I’m lonely
You’re so beautiful please decide
I know your father as you know
And then I undressed you slowly
La Perla lingerie and lingering girlish Chanel No. 5
Red manicured fingernails and matching
Open toed red Louboutin pumps
Money beneath the bible on the nightstand
Insulted you refused to take
Condoms in the drawer you said didn’t need
And then I was inside you
Not the underprivileged girl
But equestrian dressage competitor from Wellington
Private school’s surgeon dad a friend
On spring break from New Haven you came
Liking illicit thrills as I do
Knowing me since a child calling me Daddy
A sophomore of Philosophy at Yale
Golden blonde hair tucked behind your ears
Your pretty young perky tits in my hands
On your knees doggystyle letting me
Falling deep into you moaning as you came
My girlfriend would leave me for this
God will burn me at the stake
For the unfamiliar all I seek
For a friend yet stranger’s warm embrace
Afterwards we watched the sunset and caressed
Waves sweeping ashore we laughed
And you kissed me hard on the lips
Ashamed for plundering you consensual
Goodbye my darling — see you tomorrow
We’ll watch polo and ride ponies to bunch
Yes I want to I love you she said
You don’t love me my sweet
You too young to love
Let me order you an Uber
