I can conjure her up so easily

petite venus in skinny jeans

size 4,  maybe

 

she's not you

 

I can close my eyes and picture her on the side of a gravel road,

on the hood of an overheated convertible,  licking the sweat off a bottle of beer

 

she's not you

 

too young, too thin,  too perfect

no long mane,  no extravagant hips 

 

She is a daydream easy to call up

often revisited,  predictable 

 

like I said,  

not you
