Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

Left Behind Swagger

She swaggers over to our table
Whips out her pad from her apron
Pencil poised
What’cha want Hon?
She drawls
Soft pink lips in a little twinkled pout
The white frilled design
Bust’n out in all the boxum places
Our “Two Specials with coffee” reply
Brought a smile
I like it fast and easy like that 
she laughs
as she saches her swagger back 
to place our order 
you can’t help but notice that
her perfume lingers
in still air
as if the shadow of her swagger
was left behind
