Vanilla Wednesday

lyrics

Vanilla Wednesday

she walks on tiptoe
straight and political
Determined, Graceful, Staunch and Hot

i see her Shoes

towering – sky towering
bungee defying
4 or 5 inch foundational
girders burrowing into
concrete river

… and we wait… for the bus

she brushes
she coaxes
she lovingly licks her finger to wipe the marks off

her tall black attention grabbing Shoes

the inevitable
Herne Bay parade of
pushchair jogging
Jack Russell leading
skinny mammas
in the best walking gear
proceed to pass
with one eye
disbelievingly arching towards

those Shoes

not so oblivious
pale peach nails
caress the keys
on a slide phone
perhaps she’s documenting
the successful domination
of this vanilla Wednesday

By Her Shoes
