more poetic

brien james dawson
The sign read,
More Poetic
being that
I never seen
or thought of
women's apparel as poetic,
this stopped me completely.

Bewildered, I dance slightly
from one foot to the other.
looking at the Macys Add
showing beautiful woman
in a long sleeve, brown top
and slender tan pants,
the background a light sky blue.

It's not like everything is poetry,
just like anything else
it's what you make it out to be
and sometimes we stretch an idea
just a tad too far,
causing a young man
to stare blindly
like a pedophile
in a park
on the Fourth of July.
