She stands up to each of the childish men who might as well be
drunk.
She knows more than she'll ever tell.
She underplays the heroine in this one.
She wishes you had more gumption and could resist their offers.
She expects something will be done soon.
She whistles while the animals are brought in.
She had that thing hidden for so long that they came not to mind.
She smiles like a freight train on a siding.
She forgets about the patient wives in the next room.
She almost never wants to be a boy.
She carries everything back to the store just to make a point.
She owns more than one silk nightgown.
She cancelled her subscriptions suddenly.
She does not have to rely on passion but finds it comforting
in this narrow alley.
She understands the camera's awful grin but sits for the portrait
anyway.
She knows you'll be a better man tomorrow.
She left us alone when we needed it most.
She enters his dream as the saucy waitress.
She pretends to know extraordinary people.
She will invite us to her next affair.
She invented the most subtle excuses for having no excuses.
She lifts a steady hand to his tweedy arm.
She lets the wind toss her about for awhile.
