Smarts

intellectual stilettos 
                   stepping on toes
         
              more than hips swaying

A powerful piece of poetry. You make me want to try my hand at writing shorter pieces.

Wonderful Maureen! Are toes stepped on on purpose as way of extracting revenge for enjoying the way women look in them?

If they're stilettos - does that mean they're narrow minded? :)
