Charmaine Thomson
Lonely planet sex
It was never a question
of inertia on the seats
or through dusty chatter
at the station.
Glossy and youthful,
he opens with secrets
dusting the shine
off his Don Giovanni glasses.
Region by region,
on bare cameras
it's an imperfect seduction
misspelt and blunt.
Being visible is unusual
amongst brash accents
seeking the ultimate shot
but not the moment.
