This Dark Stage

ac/dc's
Back in Black begins

she steps out
in stilettos and fishnets
a towel and a bottle of Windex

she wipes down the pole
and i hate that she has to wipe down
the pole

maybe some of the men enjoy it
because one pole reminds them
of another

i get that

other men might like it
because they're bullies in their hearts
and like to see a woman clean

but i'm a performer
and watching a dancer wipe her own pole
reminds me of all the clubs i played

putting yourself up on stage for someone else
baring it all for someone else
and not being appreciated

it's not about the money
i know this chick's getting paid
sometimes i even got paid

it's the being up there
and feeling like you're on your own

i want to say
"Hey, i'll do that, you're the talent!"
but i know that would be weird
so i just pull out my wad of ones
and keep my mouth shut
