sassy
Bespeckled I've been walking with a swagger lately,
a little smirk
behind my sunglasses and high-collared coat.

A little gait in my step,
a little bounce and a little
secret
smile.

I don't know why, but I feel lately like everywere I turn I have something delicious to hide from someone.

How many secrets am I keeping?
I haven't really given it much thought.
Maybe 20,
maybe none,
but - no - definitely a few.

None of you know,
as I cross the street and watch for traffic -
you wonder, even, what is that girl hiding under that coat
under those sunglasses,
behind that sly smile,
beneath that skin?

You'll never likely know.














(But it's so very very good).

gja Hey Bespeckled. Even as I clicked sassy I was two thirds of the way through constructing my blathe.

I was going to write that I sometimes use the word "hammy" to describe what I thought could described as sassy.

I now know I was wrong.

Your sassy is better.
It is not just the simultaneous desire to investigate and protect your secrets. (How many are there by the way?).
Its the confidence, vulnerable only because its source is unclear.
Its the...oh I dunno...its sassy. Almost sounds like it is.
Ta.

gja Oh, and if may be so presumptuous as to ask - is the high collared coat off white? And I grow even bolder stillwhat is underneath? Besides you, that is? 080201

Bespeckled It's black.
I wore it tonight, actually.


But with less of a gait in my step, I'm afraid.
