Metlen: Friday Nights

BEAT pursuing friends

Working at the Metlen Hotel, Bar, & Cafe’ to get through college, and doing a fair share of partying there, was a life-enhancing experience! (Bartender/cocktail waitress, cleaned the rooms during the week ‘95-’96.)

Metlen: Friday Nights

Friday night
Friends.
Music, 
Finally NON-country.
Been waiting for release.
Let’s all dance!
A group of 
BEAT
Pursuers.
Lovin’ it!
The music fast:
Great guitar!

And, 
When slow dancing,
I’m afraid to ask…
And know you can’t.
Finally,
You do.
But, the song goes
From slow to fast
To slow, to fast again.
My 
Heart 
Beats the same.
Emotion 
Flows 
The same
Through my veins.
The 
Same 
Feelings,
Inside for months,
Come 
Again…
Fast to slow, 
To fast, 
To slow 
Again.

We dance, 
Close.
Our hearts 
Play 
The same beat, and 
I feel 
Strange in your arms.
Cheek to cheek, 
Sweat combines, 
First and only
Bodily fluids 
Shared.
Just—that,
Was satisfying to me.

We go with the
Beat again-------slow.

I am glad for this,
Friday night 
Out with friends.
