The Affect

Faded easy girls
parade sidewalks.
Cigarettes 
and painted nails 

     all part of the affect.

Homecoming float
brings up the rear.
Paper roses,
tiarra'd easy girl

     all part of the affect.

The one who laid
the bad boy
walks the walk;
the one who laid
the quarterback
rides like a queen.

     All part of the affect.
