Clicking of High Heels

At night I put them on in my pajamas

I walk on the hard tiles of my bathroom floor

I’ll try every one of my 23 pairs on

I walk on the unfinished

Cement flooring of my basement

Just to hear the different sounds

Of the click clak

The heels make on the hard floor

A silent room with a long tile hallway

In the distance

There is a click clak

In the silent room, everyone’s attention

Is pulled to the tile hallway

The breathing stops as you wait

To see her

This click clak

The heels make on the hard cement floor

Make a dignified sound.

When you hear that click clak,

You know a woman is approaching

The sound demands your attention,

Filling you with anticipation

Of a beautiful, professional woman

Giving her

an entrance
