RED HAIRED DAME.

Red haired dame

black roots

dark brown eyes

thin lips

but smiles neat

handles the cell phone

between thin fingers

nails chewed

adding tabs

suggesting networks

that work best

thin tattooed arms

small busted

maybe less expensive

but it's better

she says

Johnny smiles

notes the small stud

in her lower lip

knows her cell phones well

that's for sure

he knows

next to nowt

just to switch

on and off

and send a text or two

and call

now and then

but it's Johnny daughter

who's buying

not he

he's just the onlooker

taking notes

for a poem

just like this

mental note as poets do

to catch the essence

before it takes flight

like some rare moth

into the night.
