Observation Poetry: Knickers
by Mainon A SchwartzShe is wearing red-striped knickers,
that girl at the table next to me.
The rest of her apparel is gray and drab green.
I know, because when she stood, her boyfriend
grabbed the waistband of her skirt
to pull her close. The exposed shock of color
stood out like the pimiento in an olive.
I can't remember what knickers I put on my own skin
this morning. With satisfaction, I think
that maybe I am not wearing any at all. 05/16/2006 Posted on 05/17/2006
