The Glass Eye of Lonely

She is night star beautiful
strawberry blond curls
illuminating royal cheekbones
hazel (eye)d
conversationalist supreme
bikini fit
the crown jewel on Mr. Deans 
list

Lunchtime, she chose her seat carefully
her cherub face bathed in half shadow
in a strange three-quarter pose
like a nude model sitting for a con 
artist
 
Forever single
the pretty girl with the glass eye 
was lonelier than a night star...
i suppose
