There was gin on his chin and—
it hurts too much to speak
he kisses me instead
pays for my drink
“Do you want me to get
off of you now?”
Yes
tells me he is trying to write
“the perfect love poem”
I laugh instead

I like the conciseness as well. The first line is my favorite part, such a good description of awkward sex. I agree with gangster about the title as well; going in I was expecting something different.
