CAPTURING THAT HIGH HEEL ATTITUDE MOMENT

 At day’s end I find myself emptying pockets filled with detritus earlier stuffed into them in haste.

The predictables include loose change, wadded tissue, somebody’s business card, sticky notes, plastic toothpick, a polished stone, a lone dollar bill…

And the inevitable extended strip of CVS coupons.

How many miles of CVS paper have passed through hands and pockets on the way to trash receptacles this year?

Anyhow, I do spot one revelatory coupon that tickles memory and fancy:

GET $2.00 OFF YOUR NEXT EYE-SHADOW PURCHASE.

Can’t remember when I made my last purchase of eye shadow. Probably because it never happened.

But sweet remembrance kicks in and this snapshot of a phrase appears, SHE’S ALL LONG EYELASHES AND HIGH HEELS AND LEGS.

I wrote something about this beautiful and purposeful high heel person a long time ago, just after she breezed past me in hallways at City Hall.

Oh, here is part of the note. It’s called ATTITUDE HEELS.

She’s walking the walk

She’s jutting her chin

Her eyes are half-closed

She’s suppressing a grin.

Attitude heels

Attitude heels

Gotta get a pair of those attitude heels

Gotta stay cool

Gotta keep the beat

Strutting those spikes

And building up heat

Clicking and clacking

Staying on cue

She looks like she’s

Got lots to do

Attitude heels

Attitude heels

Must have must have attitude heels

You can’t be meek

You gotta be real

You must hang tough

And NEVER kneel!

You march right in

You strut straight through

You rule the wind

And the world follows you

Attitude heels

Attitude heels

Gotta get some of those attitude heels

Well, what more can I say about this apparition at City Hall? She speaks for herself. She remains a remarkable icon of efficiency and purpose and will and confidence. Wish I could find all that along with my other pocket stuffings.

Maybe I just did
