Factor - thank you! The population in Australia is meant to be aging so I guess the prostitutes will too. I haven't seen that article, but it must be interesting.

Just reading this now... I liked it. It paints a very vivid picture for me. And oddly I just read an article yesterday about the aging prostitutes in Australia...something about the average age increases as you move from the city to the rural areas...

You are absolutely right that, to manage individual debts, that is a great responsibility in itself is not easy. As for debt cancellations, I am no party to it. I think that there should be combined efforts to fight corruption in third world countries and also impliment real multi parrty democracy. Only through these can one be sure that any aide will get to those in need. Thank you for reading.

OMG, I think milk just came out of my nose...
This cracked me up. I know it's sad...it's shameful...but it's sooooo true. Surrender the fantasy...grow old gracefully and for crissake, have some self respect! Awesome post, very observant.

caelia - thanks for your comments. I agree, age should bring appreciation, but nowadays it doesn't seem to work that way.

it's sad really
that many older women are as insecure and immature as the younger ones. I've always thought older women should be appreciated more, and feel more confident, for with age comes maturity, wisdom, and true inner beauty -- unfortunately, most in our society doesn't view it that way. great poem.

Pat, invisibility certainly does increase with the decades, but some people refuse to accept it. As for the idea, lets just say I've been around...

aging white...
poignant painting of aging in a youth market. invisibility increases with the decades. time's unkind cuts in a competitive environment. where'd you get the idea for these specifics? I know you ain't no ho.

lol mcbreeze - I'm sure its not you! 37 isn't that old - I'm way older than that. Of course I haven't been clubbing for awhile, but thats only because I haven't got anyone to go with.

This is a strong depth charge that examines the shallow end of the gene pool with cutting acumen and incisive precision. You drill with skill, and plumb the superficial edges of the nightclub scene's seamy underside (dare I say "semoany"--I love to push puns... haha) with an ascerbic wit that is both alert and sensitive to nuance.
The love of your poem, though is the following stanza:
And when the morning crashes
thru the darkness, lights
flicker on the aging white hos
looking for the last of the bros
who might still flirt
and dull the hurt.
I can almost sense the timpani synaesthasia that verges loose from the aural and visual imagery; and the contrasts playing fast and loose with the thematic material practically pulls it apart from a sense of the human suffering superimposed upon the whole scene.
How's that for elaboration?
