“Didn't you hear? Lolita's on Myspace now.”
Good.
It's not safe to go outside anymore –
Men roam the streets, wild men
With candy in their pockets
and malice in their hearts.
Men more interested in the hair between her legs,
(What little she has)
than the hair between her ears.
(So red, and vibrant.)

“Did you hear? Humbert's got onto that Internet.”
Good.
What's the point of going outside anymore?
All the women are taken, bored women
Pushing shopping carts full of babies
And food that will settle uncomfortably around their midsections.
Women are more interested in a man with an open wallet
(Long as something's inside)
than a man with an open heart
(So red, and vibrant.)

“Age: 18. Occupation: Blow”jobs”?”
It's just a joke, ‘Lita.
Nobody takes such a thing seriously.
You have to put music on your page.
And pictures. Lots of pictures.
(It's ok to be a little slutty!)
Here, use this website to help choose a color scheme.
(So red, and vibrant).

“Age: Early twenties…ish Occupation: Writer”
Is this even worth it?
Am I taking this too seriously?
What pictures do I even have to put up?
(Is that a bald spot?)
Should I put up some of my writing?
(So read, and vibrant).

“Look, Lita, you've got a request!”
He's older, and he wants to meet up!
He probably just wants to hang out.
He's cute. You should totally do it.
As a joke.
(It'll be really funny)
If you want to look really hot, you should wear this top.
(So red, and vibrant).

“Humbert, what are you doing?”
You're old, and you're beat up.
Your desperation is hanging out.
She's hot though. You should totally do her.
For real.
(What harm could happen?)
Look at that picture. What I wouldn't give to be that Popsicle. Her tongue. My god.
(So red, and vibrant).

“Humbert”
“Lolita”
The rest, I suppose is history.
(Of a sort).
The sex was memorable, if only for one thing.
For him, it was vibrant.
For her, red.
