Such a Pretty Bow
broad shoulders, six foot three
Rolex, Stacey Adams, suit by Armani
and she said yes
soft spoken, warm hands, piercing eyes
a Harvard degree, business law
and she said yes, yes
a dance to Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
witty, charming, a nightcap
and she said yes, yes, yes
Mercedes Benz, Pacific Ocean, gated community
ten thousand square feet, pool, sauna, jacuzzi
and she said yes, yes, yes, yes
John Coltrane caressed the ears, Dom Perignon the bloodstream
kissed with the eyes, then the lips
and she said yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
wait, wait
grabbed her, cursed her, rippped her dress
slapped her, groped her, pinned her, mounted her, took her
and she cried no, no, no, no, no–no
