PAD - Day 3 - an apology or… unapologetic poem.
* I was the first person at Starbucks this morning. I sat with my notebook and watched. I jotted down words as they came to me, and I divided them into nouns, verbs, and adjectives. I allowed five rows for each, and each row contained five to six words. I finished when one section was full or my coffee ran out. The words won. I used these words for today's prompt.

For today’s prompt, there are actually two options, because it’s Tuesday, which means a “Two for Tuesday” prompt. They are:

•Write an apology poem, or…
•Write an unapologetic poem.
Your choice. You can be sorry–or not. Or write about someone who is sorry–or not

A Girl in a Hoodie
You flittered by
with your click clacking high heels
and swinging blonde ponytail,
throwing expletives at the distinguished
businessman following you,
his dark rimmed Poindexters pouring over
your waddling perkiness

I’m glad you didn’t look at me
sitting, chatting with the empty chairs
and large policemen grappling
their morning caffeine fixes.
Fuzz with a buzz you called them,
no respect in your voice. Oh
how you hated the brown bagged bellies
and apathetic gazes of my world.
And how I hated yours,
the lotto booth looks,
the knitting basket banter,
and the pink baseball hat Friday night drinks.

I prefer the Joan Jett stroll, a girl
with confidence in her attitude,
a voice with character and opinion.
I want a girl in a hoodie
