Blond hair
pulled back in a pony tail,
black sports bra
short, tight black shorts with red trim,
you ran by me on the other side of the road.
One guy working on a roof nearby
stepped towards his buddy,
tapped his shoulder and pointed towards you
then gave me the thumbs up.
A young man on a bike
made the Sign of the Cross
watching you and riding.
Three men, on your side,
dutifully parted
then craned their necks towards you.
A dog let out a lonesome howl;
a cat froze in place in the middle of the street;
a screech of brakes erupted;
a finch fluttered overhead,
and I smelled Honeysuckle.
Did you know you were a wave
and would leave so many men gesturing
and staring in your wake?
Did you think your wake would cause this
on your lunchtime jog?
