leading ladies

i keep a cast
of pretty girls
close by
always close
never more
than a telephone
away
for all the rainy days
and sleepless nights
and the cool october
mornings
i love them all
in different ways
for different reasons
if i lost my phone
i'd be devastated
all my starlets
gone in a flash
they'd shut
down production
i'd have to recast
all over again
i'd complain
to the new ones
that they weren't
right for the part
all my pretty starlets
i love them all
i take them
everywhere i go
they're so dear
to my heart
