Her Life
She’s a teenage beauty
in thrall to various males –
so, when the important political announcement is made,
she checks her cell phone again –
when the Orca breaches the surface,
she’s inundated with various text messages –
when the fly eludes the chameleon’s tongue,
she cannot be expected to answer them all –
but when the dark clouds roll by,
she spies the one she’s been waiting for –
I am yours, baby, you are mine.
