patiently waiting
An off-orange glow, dull
spotted with headlights
that peak her interest
A large pink bra under
a black lace see-through shirt
a short leather skirt
pleasantly protruded in the back
She is waiting with patience
standing under the El
Her hair is black, frizzy
covering her face slightly
She leans on one side
her elbow resting on her
full-bodied hip
A big purse dangles
to rest on her back,
added to the landscape
of soft leathered mounds
Patterned nylons that
match the shadowed
chain-link fences
all around
Her big body pedestaled
by little black high-heeled boots
The pavement is dry
adding allegorical truth
It is a Sunday at Midnight
The air is heavy with sweat
She waits, nothing happening,
Not yet
On Kensington Avenue
a hot summer night
this living diorama
sits about perfectly right
