yesterday I saw a prostitute jaywalking <br />the wig she wore was very long and dark <br />long like her legs....dark like the night <br />her lips were painted bright red <br />but not as red as her pleather boots <br />they were red red <br />when she stepped in front of my car <br />I got a good look at her facial features <br />my headlights spotlighted them <br />she was beautiful <br />with ebony skin and high cheek bones <br />like a queen she commanded attention <br />horns honked and cat calls abound <br />as she darted between the traffic <br />on her way to the opposite curb <br />thereby stopping to give a royal wave <br />of her hand and a gentle toss of her hair..... <br />then in a very deep voice.... <br />never mind___ <br /> <br />2007 © Ted Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fooled-again-into-believing-love-was-real/
