She’s a rainstorm in high summer,
all thunder and steam.
Loose? No—she’s a wildfire.
She’s been to every part of this town
and left bits of herself in alleys,
park benches, cab backseats—
Her skirt’s high, but her chin’s higher,
and she’ll kiss your smirk right off
without even touching your lips.
You can’t buy her,
but you’ll try,
and it’ll cost you more than change.
