I'Ve Got To Know Her
she wears bows in her hair
what is she 13?
she wears pillbox hats
and pearls
I mean come on
who still wears pearls?
she has bracelets of every shape
and color
around her left arm
her arms a fashion statement
men's jeans that drape
around her waist
and a cinched woven Aztec belt
what is she homeless?
she can't be
she has an advanced degree
and buys her coffee at Starbuck's
she wears white shoes after labor day
what does she care?
she has a son named rainbow
with a small "r"
who drives a Karmann Ghia
I have to know this woman
I just have got to know her
spiritually
