Not the usual curves
No, not the obvious attractions
Instead it was her shoulders
Uncovered and strapless
Creamy white
Strong curves
Confident
No chips
Ready for the wheel
The more he looked
The more obsessed he became
Inflamed
By a body part he’d never considered much
A place for a friendly pat
Encouraging touch
Now central to his infatuation
Fetish obsession
It was all he could do to remain in his seat
Watching her perfect shoulders
Dance
Sway and bob
Away from him

Ten
Ten things I’m not
Bitter
Confused
In love
Waiting
Apprehensive
Sad
Anxious
Hung up
Obsessed
Yours
