Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

You found the jacket you wanted in the
Clothing store, took it to the pay desk, and

Handed it to the shop assistant a
Slim young brunette who took the jacket and

Began wrapping it up in a bag. You
Need anything else? She asked. Shirt, tie, pants,

Underwear? No, I’m ok, you replied.
We have socks, jeans, sweaters, bowties, vests, hats,

How about a cap? No, I’m ok for
Caps. She continued wrapping the jacket

With her small slim hands, the fingers having
Painted red nails. We have new underwear

In, she said, the type the big movie stars
Wear, it'll make the girls swoon all over

You. No, I’m ok with the underwear
I have, I said, feeling the breath of the

Guy behind growing impatient. She put
Down the wrapped jacket and said, that’ll be

$70. You handed her the
Money and watched as her fingers moved, the

Way they could have undressed you and have pushed
Away the worried lines from your brow, kissed

Your lips, had sex with you, but she didn’t
Of course, least not then and there anyhow.
