Stood up

I think I took too long to get here.

That’s why he left.

But the skirt I wore is rather short,

and it is quite windy today.

So, yes, “I’ll take the coffee to go,

With a chocolate muffin thrown in.”

The cars stop as I cross,

And the sun kisses my skin.

There’s a sweet stickiness on my lips;

Heels tapping on the sidewalk.

I feel taller as I wear my sunglasses,

And sexy as I hail a cab home.
