Gift

Writers are by nature careful
stories trellised seedlings and cuttings
of imagination and fact.
Facts. Even when factual
can be problematic
sometimes more libellous than lies.

Just as backstreet hardscrabble can vanish with wealth
a 25 years after take me girl about town
may costume into always been respectable.
Besides
no 58-year-old woman wants her children
or grandchildren
knowing of past wild .
Before the Internet and the iPhone
Facebook, Instagram
or YouTube
no one will remember or have tangible record.
Still just in case a pseudonym – MM.

MM, impressively promiscuous – in a promiscuous town
not stunning
but more than passable to the eye
farm girl fair rather than pretty
tallish for a woman
sturdy without being fat
a tidy Ford sedan
not a European convertible.
Supply and demand
and here rides in very short supply.

MM’s birthday
her 33rd
on ice, literally
a wish
two young men not previously sampled.
A celebration to remember by all accounts.
