Iambe makes the cut

She had followed the auto show
on to Detroit for
the antiques

so when Bill approached her she
mentally noted he only looked
like a car salesman
and a kid, although the gray
told her he qualified as an antique

she was not surprised
as his gaze went from ankle
to eyes and back again

only surprised that he would
even care to speak

while she bent over to fill out
raffle tickets, for who doesn't want
a surprise
in their day

she knew his eyes were perusing
her bumper,

she turned to him
"and just how old were you when
she left?"

turned again

as his face went white,

and started walking
without looking back,

just knowing
that he had pulled his ego up,
closed his mouth
and walked away,
not quite a salesman.

I see Iambe is visiting someone else... wondered why she wasn't home last night...must have been in Detroit City, wreaking havoc with the dudes up there. Well... guess I won't need them dance lessons after all...

Nicely told... I enjoyed!!!!
