Still Life: Girl In Dingo Boots
When I wear these boots
I feel like a cowgirl
from the old West. Like

a rough and tough, rock´em
sock´em man´s woman - a good
old girl. And I feel strong.

like a prairie mother who
has thrown off her disguise,
tossed her bonnet in the sand.

I can open doors with my
smile, shoot bandits with
my six-gun eyes.

With these boots I can
strut down dusty ghost-town
alleys, kick my way

out of any side-street
scuffle, and still cross
saloon-maid legs unscratched.

I could stop the sunset, if
I wanted to. And, with one
rigid finger speed up the wind.

When I wear these boots
I feel like a red-headed rebel.
These are the boots my father won´t buy.
