She was long with flowing blonde locks
Jean shorts and a black top
Carrying her purse over the shoulder
A cell phone in her right hand
She was on the move like one in command
Though her shoulder bore a purse
Her speech was terse
I started to admire her but then she opened her mouth
A curse!
I wondered who she was talking to
She crossed the street with her long body
Jabbering on
Her mouth was a potty
All the car windows were down on that hot day
Everyone stared as she crossed
I thought to myself, She must be someone’s boss
Oh, she was lithe
As she headed to the Wal-Mart
Spewing obscenities the whole way
Her words were to her aura as cigarette smoke to a lung
The conversation stung
As I sat at that red light
Her beauty took flight
When she got to the other side
So did the Aston Martin beside me
When the light turned green
It was like something out of a James Bond movie
In that car was a modeling agent
But he let her go, for her mouth was tainted
Soiled, like used porcelain
Worse yet, she sat on the other side and lit a cigarette
