Catwalk Lullaby

Catwalk Lullaby

A Poem by Erin Lee

Catwalk Lullaby

by Erin L George

 

She buys her clothes

two sizes too small

and squeezes queen thighs

into a thong.

 

Strutting down Main Street

in pink stilletto heels

swinging tiger print purse

cluched in her fire finger nails.

 

A man washing windows

at Sam's Department Store

snickers as he waves

to his buddy, Bob -

who nearly falls

off the birdcall's ladder.

 

She strolls the strip

giving Bob a wink

with her hula hips

flipping her hair

in a flirt to herself

in the window display

on Elm Street.

 

Joe blows her

a whistle kiss

as she passes

his hot dog stand

and offers her his own

smothered in mustard

or sauerkraut.

 

She licks her lips

arches her back

allowing her tits

to lead the way home

to her house

where she'll take off her wig

and brown lashes.

 

Back out the door

within an hour

he waves at Bob

and stops for a bite

at the old hot dog stand

on teh way to his job

where he works

with explosives.

For all those who asked about the explosives...I put that in there at the end for a couple of reasons. I wanted "her" (him) to do a really masculine job (in comparison to his feminine off-work lifestyle). I also wanted the idea of explosives because if anyone were to find out he was a cross dresser the reprucussions would be explosive..... (Aka - what would the guy selling him the hot dogs or the construction workers gawking at him say if they realized that "she" was actually a he....THAT could be explosive...) Hope this clarifies it! ;-)

I liked this. Im not sure what it was that made me love it. It was odd , but I just loved it. I dont understand, though, the point of adding stuff about explosives. What's that for?

I was wondering if that was where you were going to take it, and I was right. Your description gives it away; I think you'd have more fun - and more shock - if you took that out.

You have a couple of spelling errors in here. teh instead of the, thinghs instead of thighs (I think), just mistyping, nothing major.

The ending is kind of bland (which ironically, might be the point), and I don't really see the point of the explosives, but that could just be me missing it. I enjoyed this anyway.
