She hangs up her coat after work
as slow as her mother gets out of bed
almost as yellow as the canary.

Miss Jones is a home economics teacher
who sometimes recalls her once hot body
that could have been pierced one night in Miami
with one more Black Russian under her skin

while she waited for Daphne's HUNGRY HEART,
but BORN TO BE WILD stayed in the needle
blue because her soul was white
as yesterday's sheets on Mother's bed
she'll change for Mother again tonight.

A memoir of and for humanity

it's occurred to me that you're building an encyclopedia of human foibles in poetry and it makes me smile...

This is such a quiet poem, but its voice carries far.
