making it the hard way

our part-time clerk
florence
comes over to me and says,
he’s looking at porn again

and sure enough there’s some ginger-haired hasidic kid
with his face pressed up against a computer screen

we’ve had a rash of them here lately

all young men
all hasidic
all looking at internet porn

usually big-breasted blondes
sucking anonymous cock

it’s like we’re running
a digital brothel in here sometimes

i usually let them go

religious repression is hard

and looking at porn in public
is its own sad situation

but when florence comes over
and tells me that
now he’s jerking off

and sure enough
his hand is moving hard
underneath that big black coat

well…

that’s when i had to get the guard
to throw him out

i mean
just looking at
big breasted blondes
sucking anonymous cock
is fine

but we have to maintain
some semblance of decorum
around here

right?
