selfridge girl
a girl
wrapped lank and close in cashmere
from someone else's wardrobe
holds a handful of better lives
and better faces outside selfridges
approached, she manufactures her
intrigue (sex), future (theirs), pelvis (at)
and dispenses her hairspray laugh
our girl, our hero, our one, our own
(in double bought _shoes_)
takes the bus home with
a perfect box of
Benefit Dandelion
