It moved an arm
from time to time
even evolved
distinct expressions
different from others
eyes moved
gaze shifted
spooky
alluring


it moved
while fashion did
sculpted chests
evolved nipples
chins, dimples
a face without a name
heartless, no shame
different from headless times
it stood in window view
an eye moved
a leg flexed
that was the store attendant
stupid
can't you tell
clay fom flesh
the difference?

I think I was there at the time.....or a time just like this one. I wish I'd written it!
