long-sleeved turtleneck to show no skin soft-soled shoes to make no sound ski mask, gloves, various tools dark...all of it dark slip out the door into the night dressed to kill
Megan, That is so cool! I read the first and last lines quickly at first. Thinking it was about a girl going out on a date. Well, I guess she is, but imagine my surprise to discover what kind of date.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. rel
remiman totally got something different from me which is great...when I think of clothes showing no skin and quite shoes it reminds me of espionage and ninjas. It must have been my obsession with wanting to be in the CIA or a ninja as a child. I still walk into houses unheard and sit down and wait for people to notice me-such a fun game. This is what it reminded me of.
Hi! Cool and stealthy.I like the shape of your poem moving from outward (wide) like being seen more easily inward to putting the squeeze on someone, with your killer punch line cliche!It packs quite an impact that way.

This reminds me of Maggie Cheung in the film Verma Dep (?). Sorry that may be a bit obscure ....

Such a wonderfully succinct poem to illustrate a succinct little cliche. Great take!
