Do you know me?
I am the blonde
in the white convertible.
Have you seen me
cruising up the coast
on a mango day?
Top down, honeydew
bandana holding back
my hair, juicy fruit lips
smiling, enticing you
into a day dream?
Have you looked for me?
I am said to be elusive and
you may not recognize me.
I frequently slip into
something more comfortable
inside the round
gray-haired lady who
lives in the canyon
and writes poetry.
