she was telling me something

she wore
her black stockings on her first
date.
they were ripped
and torn,
as far as i could see.
thigh high.
they weren't new.
but they
interested me.
why
would she wear them
on our first date.
and her shoes,
the leather stripped of color.
a pair
of fingerless gloves
caressing her drink.
what message
was she sending. was she poor,
was her vision
slight,
was she telling something
about her
shabby chic
fashion, the orphan Annie
look, or was it more,
something darker
about her life?
