The Pink Slip
her slip disappeared somewhere
in the mansion and the owners
weren’t home to find it.
It was pink and lacy and she
left it there before heading to
foreign lands and to meet strange
dark men in smoky bars,
discussing politics as military coups
raged outside and army men
paced outside her hotel at night.
she had stayed in this house
in between her travels, from hunting
rocks formed in prehistoric eras to
being photographed at national
conventions, all while wearing her
pink slip.
