A & P Poem

Fancy Herring Snacks flashed in her very blue eyes
As she slipped softly into the chrome black
Town car, careful not to
Ruffle the white top she had on. A
Strong looking man looked out of
His slightly tinted window,
Steely gray eyes
Hammering my confidence.
Stokesie had the day off of work, so
We took his shiny new
Red ford galaxy
To the beach,
And people watched.
As I sat on the hood of his
Cherry red prize,
I saw her again.
The girl keeping me from my
Very own
Shiny red Ford Galaxy.
The queen,
This time alone,
Walking along the beach
In a lime green suit this time,
The same beauty
That perplexed me
Radiating around her.
But this time,
She seemed shy,
No plump girls to lord over,
Just her,
Trying to avoid judgement from people around her.
As she walked towards the town car,
Stokesie whistled, and she glanced over
Shyly, lacking the confidence she had
Last time I saw her.
Her father stood outside the car,
A handsome man in a suit.
She greeted him,
He replied firmly and
Stone faced.
She looked at us once again,
Looking down at her feet,
And stepped into the
Leather darkness of her car.
