you murderous sluts

3 girls walk into a bar
a blonde a brunette and a red head
the blonde says beer
the brunette says wine
the red head says scotch on the rocks

they seem to be friends
the bartender squeezes up to the girls
giving them barnuts and napkins
and extra lemons and such
little pecking motions
swirling barstools
the newscaster next to them
asks if they'd like another ride
he coughs I mean round
on him
the blonde says beer
the brunette says wine
the red head says scotch on the rocks

later in a liquor store parking lot
near a retired rockstar's apartment
the blonde says beer
the brunette says wine
the red head says scotch and a bag of ice
to a driveup window girl
with a neck tattoo
maybe a clit piercing
postcoitally they share a smoke
blonde drinks beer
brunette wine
red head with her scotch on the rocks

all their men long dead and gone
buried headless near the border
themselves skeletons
the blonde asks what they'll miss
the brunette says wine in a tall slim glass
the blonde replies a cold beer this time of year
the red head squints behind her glasses
shouting
