she came out
of the store
graceful as a
gazelle with
curves that
needed a big
yellow caution
sign attached
and strutted
down the sidewalk
as if the cracked
concrete moved
in time with
her long legs
the valet slid
open the door
to her white
flashy sports car
and as she
shimmied her way
into the soft
patent leather seat
cracked her head
on the doorframe

i was still
laughing as i
walked to my
first call
fifteen minutes later
