The Cashier

The bridge above her nose was pierced,

Her nostrils were, as well,

With several silver bars laced through,

As far as I could tell.


Her upper ears both sported studs

And wrapped around her neck

A studded leather choker served,

With others, to bedeck.


I couldn’t count how many more

(I didn’t want to stare)

And on her wrists, assorted bracelets 

Brightly dangled there.


She was a very friendly soul 

And so I had to ask

If she slept with all her piercings;

She did not take me to task.


She simply laughed and said she did,

Not what I thought I’d hear,

Since I take my earrings out each night,

Just one in either ear.
