By J.J. Tindall
Diane Swonk, The Next Mrs. J.J. Tindall
Lean, lithe, lovely
and loaded,
Kerridwen, goddess
of knowledge
and inspiration,
Golden Hair:
lean out
your window,
hear my
immigrant song.
I can cook,
clean, dance
and dream.
I am loyal,
clever, kind
and broke.
And since
the city towed
and repossessed
my car,
I am
twenty pounds
lighter.
Woman:
I am
your
slave.
