I'm prettyflour from here to off a critique since you entered this piece into the 'critique me' folder.
I want to start by saying that I love the mix you've mixed physical intimacy with consumerism. You've melded the two together seamlessly- they dance around each other creating some really great imagery- especially these lines:
~~Later, as we are still, there comes reckoning, the empty bank between my shoulders, a robbery, there were your eyes like a holdup, and my stomach wrinkled like an vacant purse. I note the credit used and spent between my legs~~
If I have any criticism it would be the very last line. It fell a bit flat for me. I would have loved to see more... power there. A more powerful phrase perhaps.
Overall, I very much enjoyed this. I think the imagery is wonderful. The FEEL of the entire piece was really nice- it flowed well. Great job!
