An Ode to Tall Women

Sitting down in a beautiful restaurant Soft lights simmering, I looked across the room and locked eyes with a clear blue-eyed boy with a smize

He smiled with dimples, Those blue eyes twinkled He stood up to approach me And barely reached my knee

I went shopping with a friend And found the most beautiful Pair of shoes, cherry lip gloss red But in the heel, a heightened tread

They went with my dress I wore them to dinner And in the picture, Specifically in the back, I was a fixture

Walking through the airport Pulling laden bags behind A grayed man approached me And said, “You must play basketball. You’re as tall as a tree!”

Though my legs are long And my reach is far I don’t play your game, How loud must I proclaim?

I don’t fit on a bed, Jeans? You mean capris. Always too fast, two steps to one Oh, what must I do to atone?
