early american

standing
on the street
corner
in a mink stole
trying to decide
which way
to go, you could
see that she was
an early
American
antique with
spindly legs
and blue eyes.
nails polished,
well
appointed with
old
jewelry, and
a pill box hat
worthy of
Jackie o.
she had her day.
but where oh
where
does the time
go.
