She held the door for me.
Her other hand
brushed sleepy blonde dark-rooted hair
from the sun-parched skin of her brow.
Her breasts
rose like elevators
under a white silk blouse.
Otis has done himself proud,
I thought to myself.
She might have had young girl dreams
of her sexiness claiming rank
as she waddled her way to success,

that he believed
was as high as it gets.
At least, she caught
my ogle of a look
and was okay with it.

in a deep husky voice.
She switched her hip flesh
from one side to the other
and back again
as I followed her into the bathroom
My bag of plumbing tools
thumped against my thigh.
They'd read the book too,
