Contemporary Woman

She allowed a perfect specimen
to slip away…
She’s a Contemporary Woman
In a vintage way…
“Are your possessions heirlooms?” He inquired.
“No…collections from my past.” She replied.
Ugh, but youth,
remains at bay.
“Safe!”…is all she can say.
She had no intention, to add
another possession
to her heirloom collection.
She’s a Contemporary Woman
in a vintage way.
She collects eyes,
the rest need not stay…
