her tractor was special, kinda candy coated
with chrome tires that could sure throw mud
in any contest and she always had words left
when the others were nursing their wounds

her bricks were always in all the right places
and she sure knew how to use them for favors
especially the ones that were bent around curves
and the ones that blocked any conceivable exits

she sipped coffee she had grown at her villa
and talked about how if size doesn't matter
then what does when you are trying things on
or the point of shopping if you aren't wealthy

she had slaves at her bar in observant worship
waiting for an opportunity to be the chosen one
or chosen several if she wanted some variety
or a grouping with her as the central attraction

when she got off shift right after closing time

Dear Dark,
I liked your description of this woman.
She sounds like a woman who learned to protect herself and not be vulnerable to anyone, shutting out emotion.

Ms ebony

I do believe her emotions are fragile enough, but she has learned to leave them in her other body. Thanks ms

Dear Dark,
I commented on your poem but it didn't appear.
Forgive me if it appears twice, as I am still learning.
I liked this poem. I envisioned a woman who has learned to harden herself to protect herself.
Hum...familiar.
Ms. Ebony
