choking on dry ice

inspired by Ance's Pretty Little Hate Machine

Standing in line
in the cold --
under dressed
for the weather
over dressed for
the night --
ushered in
the music pounds
everyone is looking
for the one they
might
take home --
bodies bump and grind
on the sticky floor.

I spend my time
looking oh so cool
with a cigarette in hand
trying to stand
on torturous spikes,
pulling my skirt down,
hoping to find you,
choking on dry ice.
