She’s everyone’s favorite virtue…
a woman, to be sure
wears white shoes after Labor Day
can eat what she wants and never gains weight

with a shocking sting she can slap you like
water hugging your belly flops
men of all times and ages help her ascend a ladder
and hold her aloft, teetering, alone, and on top.
