Earth Spinners: A Response to Obediah’s Poem

There are times when one can only comment:
lovely. Great imagery!
I fear that I too saw such a barmaid;
she was like 8 scoops of my favorite icecream:
too much of a good thing, ultimately just a waste.

Bar Maid
of Shanel

slim for him, for Jim

upper body skinny, in a man’s formal shirt
her hips protrude in her black skirt

lovely, fleshy, strong legs
longed for legs like these,
for someone dark, pretty

inexpensive as beer in a bar in the early morning

artificial nails on the hands of a queen,
needing nothing false or altered

priceless as she is, as she appears
like tide washing beach continually

nothing cheap about what is washed up
what the tide leaves
