Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{ann walters}
  not 29 anymore


sudden snarl
of irascible
acrid breath

dimpled-down eyes

the nerveless
workings
of varicose-veined legs
in black support hose

she hitches her skirt
a little higher

folds her face
into a working girl’s
smile, tries to be
that song

men whistle in the night
