the bleached blonde attorney from tampa


she walks in smiling
like a billboard,
all blonde shine
and polished teeth.

the laws bend for money,
she knows it—
she’s danced long enough
with men in suits
to sell the dance twice.

you ask about morals,
hell, she keeps them
in a purse—
zippered tight,
pulled out only for the camera.

the rest of the time
she is like the others—
slick, practiced,
and waiting for her next check.
