Potato Chips

Pillowy clouds sheet the sidewalk

And sew the hue of rain. In patches

A beautiful blanket - transparent and grey.

All wrapt round, her ruffled bleached flax

All over her lambent crossed legs.

 

In her hand is an open bag

Of Classic, Potato Chip, Lays.

They taste so sweet,

The sharp salty flakes,

As she breaks them tongue and teeth.

 

She sits with glossy sunflower lips.

Swaying her hair with a turn and a twist.

Letting the breeze direct cerulean eyes.

Following linear passersby.

And taking a chip from her bag,

Into her mouth,

She feels the time drag.
