House Detective
She's obviously been
with someone new
since she drifts
now and giggles easy
like she's spent
a few weeks
at a dude ranch
or with some weight lifters
or nudists
a funny sounding accent
has made itself at home
rolls off her tongue
like a cigarette
she tucks
behind her ear
to smoke later
most likely
she'll hit the road
drive the Lincoln Highway
by truck, stop
at mom & pop diners
from here to Omaha
maybe it's because
she's drinking coffee again
but I don't think so
