Nevertheless

Her short skirt clings.
I consider her thighs to be too thick.
High heels click.

Nevertheless, I watch her walk away.

The thumb and index finger
of one hand commence
to rub together like the legs of a cicada.

She has rhythm.
Thoughts buzz from ear to ear.

My mind is as sticky as flypaper.
