topless in a shoe store

hello,

      sir

glad to meet you

      enchante, etc.



raise your eyes six inches

          i am here

                   you are here



    i can see the flask

                 (poorly hidden)

  will you refuse

        if i       ask for a gulp?



        hello,

      sir

  i know you've been

              watching me totter briefly

      on platform boots

you've seen me rock up

         on the toes of

                inexpensive runners

   can't help it that i'm

            topless in the shoe store

wish it was up to me,

                 sir



wish you were the type to

give the shirt from your

         own back,

                    sir



      at least use your imagination,

             sir:



make it black,

         baggy,

         a hole here and there

let me fit in,

            sir

let me shoe shop in

                    peace
