Mannequin Ghosts

She was movie star quality
Put on plenty of airs
He was more down to earth
into sports
They were forced to share a window

They are looking at me! She said gleefully.
He knew they were watching him.
But he kept this to himself.
Careful to not lose his temper

For that is when he transmogrified 
And ghosts are always supposed to stay a bit elusive
right?

She was prancing around now.
Highly emotional.
There was a scream.
That’s on you, he told her.
Divas are never careful.

So true, Caren. So true. They are usually very self-absorbed.
