Babe In a Bar

she lit the cigarette like a movie star
slowly and deliberately
every move for the camera

blonde  hair thrown back
moist lips part open
smoke riseing in  a lazy ribbon

he couldn't take his eyes off  her
here was a Marilyn Monroe
waiting to be discovered

he reached down
checked out his wallet
what the hell
the war was over
and he felt lucky
