boots brogans mukluks
not 'wellies' her look said
I said which do you wear
quick shy smile
under chestnut tresses
she didn't answer
from over here
now that the rain stopped
looks to me a mismatched pair
at that she stopped
tucked a strand
behind the shell of her ear
polar blue eyes
with a touch of crow
that mona lisa shone
I wear what I wear
because it suits me
why do yours match?
