Kiss the Girls

It was a week's
worth of opened doors
that did me in

one
after
the other
leading all the way
up the benighted staircase
towards the proverbial attic

but after all that knighthood
after all that chivalry
he refused to play
Rochester to my Antoinette
for this is a PoCo creature
that dares not light a fire babe

...

and you prefer to kiss the girls,
you prefer to kiss the girls.

had a good laugh after I read it

...am I reading too much into it? Am I allowed my laughter?

love the proverbial attic, though!

I'm sure you're reading the exact amount into it
a certain person also lives in an attic, so the attic is actually both proverbial and literal :-), as it was in Gülai's place
