It does have the meaning you gave it, the 'club' reading really only applies if you've been in that position. It was on my mind when I wrote it, so I guess that's why I saw the images that I did. I'd like to think that what I write is generally speaking fairly ambiguous, at least enough to allow for other readings.

At the same time, this is more a 'personal piece' (whatever that might mean. At the risk of sounding tremendously pretentious, 'A cagier lightning' is an anagram of my name. Hence why it's easier for me to apply the title to the poem.
