A Smile

Feeling vulnerable

she hesitates to answer

any questions.

Shaking her head yes

to whatever was asked.

Always thinking about what

she should do.

It had nothing to do with

what they were saying.

A plan of her own ran

through her mind.

She smiled and left.

They looked at each other, and knew

she was no fool..

SKIRT

She bought it off an outside rack

two sizes too big.

Rolled it up above her knees.

Knee socks had holes,

but no one will see .

Her big toe will know in a shoe

size too small.

BROKEN WINDOW

Broken window

passenger side

steering wheel

awaits phantom driver

junkyard experience

a must.
