Her name
was Margaret
and she drummed
her fingers
on the card table,
a blond woman
in her early 40’s
who played bridge
by the book—
bickering earnestly
throughout
with her partners
who also played
by the book—
but not
the same one.
No James,
I never
deceived you
with anyone.
Dazzle-charged silver
(this page) twisted
as boldly as chicken wire
against silken smooth white.
N.Y.-FEMALE,
dominant,
attractive.
Love the bizarre
and anything unusual.
Can travel.
Want to meet
anyone who has
similar interests.
