Coty Lee, Mousetrap Cabaret, 1975

By Doug Rickard

Stripper-stretch marks and desert-devil-dust... Mexican-Men and Tequila-Worm-Lust... jiggling breasts and White Men roars, sticky palms and sticky floors... booze-boars and bottle-breath, broken-teeth smiles and flailing-fist-death... curse and crawl, stumble and fall... warm wind blows through desert-window holes, pitiful views, men and rage, submission-slaves, steel dance-cage. Dangerous dusty towns, barely-lit jukebox-caves, neon sex-light comin' in big-apple-flesh-filled waves... livin'-lost f-k's, can't be saved, drink some more, find-a-whore... hear 'em roar.

Dark shadows, big-truck-monster-men, testosterone-smackdown-fears.
