Julu Liu:

ancient;

brand-new.

All the cabbies know it;

know just what you're there to do.

Women with old hands

sell fake Western cigarette brands

and novelty plastic lighters

where the flames shoot out his glans.

Chairman Mao waves from a hooky time-piece.

Barbeque coughs out paraffin,

the gin is water,

her lips thin.

And if you propose to lay her,

how do you propose to pay her?

You may not have to wine her and you may not have to dine her

but I doubt she'll let you swipe your Mastercard down her vagina.

Drunkenness is a universal motive I have found

but don't forget your kindness or your time will come around.

brand-new.
