Smoke and Mirrors (64 page)
Authors: Tiana Laveen
No one cares how the story began
No one investigates the tiny boy’s plight.
What type of man takes a woman in his hands
And manipulate her into believing he’s all that she’s got?
The same type of man raised in the dirty house
Whose mother fell in love with him, until he screamed, ‘Stop!’
What type of man can beat another person
And wish to the heavens, the bastard was dead?
The same type of man, who fucked whores on the daily
But would rather be studying airplanes instead.
Human beings are so complex
There’s no magic to undo the confusion –
Wet lips embrace, hence begins the chase
Of love and lust, but it’s all an illusion.
…And who is she choosin’
To come scratch that itch?
She calls him Daddy,
He calls her Bitch.
It is a game, but what’s in a name?
Everythang,
… if you want to get rich.
He played his cards, and ended up on top.
How the hell did he accomplish this feat?
Envied by many, heartbreaks aplenty
Until one day, a Madam he’d meet.
What type of man falls for a whore,
Whose heart is closed, and he’s all but ignored?
What type of man enjoys such a chase?
A kind like Smoke, to put her in her place.
And so it began, and he continued to pine.
Voyeurism took up his time.
People came, and people went.
But perched by his window, all his time was spent.
She was lovely, so fine, full of class
Lips so luscious, and oh, what an ass!
Smart and witty, and hard to get –
He whispered in her ear, ‘I’ll make you wet…’
“Madam Paris,
I know your kind –
Don’t you know,
I marked you as mine?”
“Madam Paris,
I don’t have all day.
I’m at your door.
Can you come out and play?”
“Madam Paris
You taught me how to be –
Here is my heart,
And here is the key…”
“Madam Paris
If you only knew,
We want each other
But I NEED you…”
“Madam Paris
It’s time to meet a King –
Here’s my last name
And a 5-carat ring.”
“Madam Paris
It’s much too late.
I’m here to stay.
Accept your fate.”
“You reflect me,
I reflect you…
We mesh so well,
It’s what we do.
We make love, ’til the world turns blue,
Spins off its axis
Without a damn clue…”
A pimp and a madam
Making sweet love.
A mental connection
From the heavens above.
“Oh yes, baby, I’m standing tall.
“Pimp Smoke, Pimp Smoke?
(((wind)))
Baby, did you call?
When I look at my reflection,
All I see is
you
,
Smoke ’nd Mirrors, Baby…
You’re my dream cum true…”
The End

The tale of a man who went from Playboy to Pimp to Partner to Patriarch and Pilot!

Here is a directory to help you with some of the slang/terminology often used in the professions described in this book. They are listed in alphabetical order for your convenience:
1. BOTTOM AKA BOTTOM BITCH – A woman that the pimp trusts most. She is often in charge of running things when he is away or needs assistance. She makes sure the other prostitutes are doing what they are supposed to do. She collects money, makes appointments, checks on the other prostitutes, and at times, may deliver punishments for insubordination. She is often strong-willed and trustworthy and is susceptible to needing to be in control in an uncontrollable situation.
2. CATCH A CASE – To be sentenced to jail or prison time.
3. CHOOSING – When a prostitute chooses a pimp of her own to manage her. The derivative of this is CHOOSING UP, which means she is forced to choose by two or more pimps that railroad her.
4. CIRCUIT – When a pimp has several of his prostitutes work different areas (cross country, different states, or different neighborhoods within a community.)
5. DADDY – What many prostitutes call their pimps as a term of affection. Some pimps demand their prostitutes call him this – especially since they know, more times than not, the prostitute had no real ‘father’, which made her more susceptible to his mind games.
6. DATE – An arrangement to have sex between a john/trick and a prostitute.
7. ESCORT SERVICE – Oftentimes set up to seem official or legit, they are in fact organized online “companies” that arrange for johns and prostitutes to meet for a date. Typically, a pimp or madam runs it and arranges hotel accommodations, etc.
8. FAMILY – What the pimp and prostitutes under his control call themselves.
9. GUERILLA PIMP – An aggressive pimp that is known to be violent with his prostitutes.
10. JOHN/TRICK – A man or woman who pays for sex from a prostitute.
11. KIDDIE STROLL – An area in a city or main area known to have very young prostitutes, many of which are run-a.ways.
12. (THE) LIFE – Being in the lifestyle of pimping/ prostitution. Some times referred to as, ‘The Game.’
13. MADAM – A woman who runs an escort service, brothel, whorehouse, and/or stable of women.
14. OUT OF POCKET – When a prostitute does something against the rules and regulations. It can also mean that a prostitute is working an area she should not be working, because it is a particular pimp or madam’s territory.
15. PULL SOMEONE’S COAT – When a pimp teaches another pimp the ropes and/or gives some good advice.
16. QUOTA – The amount of money a prostitute has to come back to her pimp with, or face punishment. Quotas vary depending on the pimp and the area of town.
17. RECKLESS EYEBALLING – If a prostitute looks another pimp in the eye, this is considered ‘unintentional’ choosing. If the pimp in question is so inclined, he could say she chose him, which would cause problems for her and her pimp, if this in fact was not true. Typically, the prostitute is punished for this. Thus, pimps may tell their prostitutes to always keep their head down when in the presence of other pimps, to help avoid a ‘reckless eyeballing’ charge.
18. RENEGADE – A prostitute that does not have a pimp.
19. SEASONING – The act of mentally, emotionally, sexually and at times physically manipulating and abusing a woman in order to have her ripe to be pimped. Some seasoning is more psychological in nature while at other times, it involves considerable to extreme violence, thus leaving the prostitute with lifelong physical and emotional scars.
20. SQUARING UP – The act of leaving the lifestyle of being a prostitute or pimp. To go ‘straight’.
21. STABLE – A number of prostitutes (see “Family”) that are governed by one pimp.
22. TRACK – A street or block of streets known for prostitution.
23. TRICK – (Can be a noun or verb); A trick is a john, a person who pays for sexual activity. ‘Turning a trick’ is the same as ‘having a date’.
24. WIFE/SISTER IN LAW – What many prostitutes who live in the same stable call each other.
