Black Eyed Susan Poet Rhyme

Like Calvin Klein

You never wear cologne to work
But there you go
Out the door
In your tie
Smelling like Calvin Klein

I want to ask, "For whom?"
But I just wave good-bye
My heart is racing
I'm afraid of 
The Why

I watch you pull away
Looking for clues
A sign
I take a deep breath
Smells like Calvin Klein
