Kitty

She rushed to get ready
for dinner with her date.
Her stockings were pulled high
above the length of her long white
skirt. She clasped pearls
around her neck and amethyst
stones slid across her slender fingers.
He was already waiting in the car.

She fumbled as she lost
the back of an earring,
then hurriedly looked
all over the floor,
eventually deciding
to rob Peter to pay Paul,
not wanting to leave
her lover alone in the car.
