A John’s Funeral

Friend and I were catching up on what life has become for us without sex work

We laugh at the similarities of not dating or getting into a relationship

“forever alone” we joke

We talk about how neither of us has had sex since we exited

4–5 years for me 3–4 years for her

Sex for us both has always been a transaction of some sort

She then asks “Did you get the message about Image passing?”

I nod and laugh thinking about this John

We talk about how he was a decent trick who we both saw

twice a week, we laugh about how strict he was

on about which days of the week he’d meet us

Monday mornings and Thursday afternoons for her

Friday early evenings and Sunday afternoons for me

She asks if we should attend the funeral with a giggle

I think to myself “Is there etiquette to attend a Trick’s funeral?”

just cause he was a good fuck, paid well and great cock for an older man

I get lost in this thought, my friend shakes me out the rabbit hole

“Wanna go?”   I laugh, they start sharing memories

We will go up, “Here we are to pay our respects to this man, he paid fucking well

and tipped too. also a great fuck” my friend adds  “Great cock too”

In a fit of laughter, we fall into one another
