A girl with brown hair dreaming on a bus,
her Mona Lisa lips curled,
 
smooths one stray caramel lock
in a slow methodical finger twirl,
 
glances down to assess the tableau
of dark chocolate inky swirl
 
coiled upon her white-shirted breast,
a slinky lariat lying furled.
 
Time not wasted riding a bus,
attending to beauty, being a girl.
