36

When the kids who
Got cranky ironic
At the woman in
The flowerpot hat leaning
Against the car door
Who said I’m getting
Off next stop her
Silk coat covering the no
Exit sign got off
The one at 66th
One said to the
Woman holding the pole
Near me did you do
That or is your hair
Like that? Yes she
Smiled at them then
Looked at me my
Eyebrows up and laughed
Shaking the blonde, red,
And brown highlights.
I blushed and noticed
Her pearl toenails,
Her cheetah sandals,
Her engagement ring
Big as a handcuff,
And got off at 79, I did.
