enjoy, enjoy

hand in hand they stroll
the cobbled walk
between Starbucks
and The Gap

carefree,
younger it seems
than I ever was,

never so sure,
never so untroubled
by the looming
uncertain life

I envy them
their present
and wish
I could walk behind
unseen but heard,
enjoy, enjoy
I would whisper,
enjoy, enjoy,
for this bright
and wonderful day
will never come again

Piggly Wiggly promenade

walking across the parking lot
in high heels and black capri pants
that draw attention to hips
going a little broad and ass
on the way to droop
and a white cotton blouse
tucked tight into her pants,
small breasts,
nipples round and hard as marbles,
nodding with every step

she struts as she passes me
and smiles and you know
she's having the time of her life,
giving all the little bagboys
mid-afternoon hard-ons,
free in this parking lot
for at least a while,
free at least until the groceries
are loaded safely into her Volvo
and she's on her way to pick up
little Brittany at ballet
