For Selena Poem by RIC BASTASA

indeed
i commend you

your legs are
sexier now with
the polka dot mini
and black
stockings

at the age of
45 do not fear
you can still kick
point & dash &
sway

Selena do not just
trust luck
to get a man
you need to be a little
flirt this time
and be the smart ass
that you can

time passes you by
do not just wait there
go & grab & just be
yourself
open and
candid about what
you feel
and by all means
in God's name
say it.
