Poem # 69 The woman in black stockings ( or is it pantyhose?)
There is a beautiful woman in black stockings
(or is it pantyhose?)
sitting on the bus stop bench
looking tired at middle age with
her raspberry lips.
It's hot in the sun and the day at school
has been dull, and going home is dull,
and I drive by in my van peering at her
warm legs ( through one way mirror sunglasses)
her eyes look away -
shes been warned about ruthless and horny
men; she's not going to give it away
like that,
and yet it's dull waiting out the minutes
at the bus stop, and the years at home,
and the book that she carries is dull,
and the food that she eats is dull,
and even the ruthless and horny men
are dull.
The beautiful woman in black stockings
(or is it pantyhose)
waits
She awaits the proper time and moment,
and then she will move
and then she will conquer.
I drive around the block in my van
peeking at her legs
pleased that I will never be
part of her heaven and
her hell,
but that scarlet lipstick on her
sad waiting mouth! It would be nice
to kiss her once, fully,and
then give her back,
but the bus will get her first.
