the gypsy queen

she moved seven times

in seven years,

at least,

and playfully

called herself

a gypsy,

her life was in boxes,

bags,

suitcases

while the car idled

out front

awaiting a drive

to her new destination,

her new

blind victim.

men had a lot to 

do with it,

okay,

everything to do with it.

follow the money

and

don't look back was

her mantra.

next stop Toledo.
