Make the Woman

Let me put on
this blazer 
with brooch,

pull back my hair
into a tight
knot.

There.
Will that
do?

Perhaps you'd prefer
this red silk
dress

bare legs
and spiked
heels

or this flowery
innocent
shirtwaist?

No? This strapless
tube, then
you can see

the ring
in my
navel. Pull.

You long
for leather
and high boots

with a whip?
Even now
you're in charge.

Oh, you want me to
unzip my skin
for you?

Here, let me
fold it
onto this chair.

Happy now?
