The Final Touch...

"I have an idea that the phrase 'weaker sex' was coined by some woman to disarm the man she was preparing to overwhelm." - Ogden Nash


Her hair, pulled tight, twisted at the nape of her neck.
Pearls, one on each lobe.
Powder the nose, blush the cheeks, sweep the lids.
She bats her eyes.
Her dress laid out upon her bed,
her shoes by the door.
Zip, slip, adjust, refine.
She reaches into her purse,
feeling every corner, pocket, crevice.
She pulls out a tube of lipstick,
and pouts her lips for the final touch...
