Women in Waiting Room
Used to dress like that
Cropped white pants
Stands with one hip to side
Beige 2” slides
pretty blue top
but no ruffles
Silver chain with symbol
around neck
Walks away aware
of her fashion image
Another with supple skinny legs
Short blue cutoffs
Rolled even higher
Long shirt buttoned
And tied low to hide
Pregnancy fact
Now long pants
To cover swollen feet
encased in support socks
Shirt buttoned up to top button
no cleavage revealed
Plain earrings
No claiming chain
Neither wedges
Only flat-bottomed shoes
Cane for support
