When She Leaves
I sense
she senses
I'm writing about her,
the middle-aged woman
sitting two bar stools down
Nervously clutching
her lavish lavaliere
While waiting for
her lover to arrive.
She's rumored
to be the wealthiest
woman in town
and sits beneath
an exit sign
She won’t be able
to brush off
When her wealthy
husband comes around.
