Feminine Shedding #WWUC @NWCreativeUnion

Mara Lets Down Her Hair ~ ©Charles Elliot

Tied to a cell phone and a schedule

I played the dollar game for ten hours.

With sundown, I shed my corporate persona

like a snake crawling out of its skin.

Climbing the ladder in spiked heels

is an exhausting shuffle between

exercising my feminine intuition

and proving I have the “balls” to get things done.

All I want for the next couple of hours

is to stare into the bottom of a wine glass

to forget there is a good ole boy food chain

and let my hair down to the music of Samantha Fish.
