At least the lease has released its lewd tenants
and finally the rent money can be spent
elsewhere, maybe on dates with lieutenants.
She found funds to fend off the fiends,
feed her friends, and fix the fender bender.
She’s come so far on her own two feet,
her feats have been featured in feature
pictures, and to her, defeat is featureless.
She’s never seen its face or faced its scowl.
In just minutes she justifies her minutely adjusted
perspective on justice by addressing just us.
Now she dresses up in lovely French dresses,
and drizzles Italian dressing on her salads.
She has a disguise for these skies when they
turn gray or for when she has to diss guys.
It’s a simple smile that lights up the dark for miles,
and to put it mildly and in the form of a simile,
her parting lips bring as much joy as the parting sea.
