she had a fine critical eye, so all around her claimed
and indeed she moved with arrogant flair
designers welcomed her with inward fear
for her monied taste entailed a capricious anger
that had been known to destroy a showroom
not often but just enough for word to spread
still if she chose to stalk the streets of Midtown
the District or the Quarter at night
and casually flash your bag or twirl your cape
others would notice and make their way to beg
make me look like her and buy buy buy
they never would, of course
they lacked the proper eye
