Baton Rouge

we make our pleasure,
drive it at night on the bayou 
wear it on our shoulder like a corsage
watch it eyeing our creme brulee
in the restaurant decorated with Mandavilla 
vines.  Like a father, 
pleasure cripples our good intentions 
shoulders us aside
on its way to a hot evening in Baton Rouge.
