Skinny Latte

Skinny Latte


Lament for the woman, business professional,


multi-tasking, espresso fueled and demanding.


Her judgement of the counter girl falls under brief priority


to the hands-free wired ear piece,


who's wire become the obstacle to her purse;


this, doubtlessly the weakest moment of her morning,


and somehow that corporate determination,


the one that gained the applause at the presentation in minneapolis last week,


finally wins her wallet back into it's place,


purse over shoulder,


and her shoes resume the confident percussion


of her "don't get in my" swaggart.


You sultry bitch.
