Exhibitionist: She's not catching the bus this morning

 
And so, she lets him watch
as she rises from the bathtub,
slick, with bubbles sliding
down her naked body.        
         
After a slow show of her
preparing for her walk to work,
the neighbors are keen
to study her gait.

Walking in the
brisk morning air,          
she opens her coat          
and shivers from the cold.

Side streets she crosses,
one by one,
as she walks to the signal.

The long street she walks down
early morning alone,
is a canyon of limestone
townhouses on both sides

that bounce back and forth
the persistent meter
of her stiletto pumps,
echoes like pistol shots.

Tenants in their robes lean
from their windows above,
struck by the vision of her,
and no one seems to mind.
