Warning
she is cool blue ice cube
out on the street
never caught by surprise
poised and expensive
click clack heels on the sidewalk
don’t look behind you and
don’t break stride:
there’s no melting this ice cube
it always freezes what it touches

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
We’ve all met her, or at least seen her character portrayed.
Have we ever. I think of different stages of my life and the representatives of this type that inhabited them. Eeek.
Yes, you probably saw more of them in the business world, but yes. Eeek.
❤️
Just the ability to walk at high speed in high heels always impresses me.
Something I certainly never have been able to do and never will, at this rate!
Great character sketch. There’s more to her than what you’re telling us I should think. That “… don’t look behind you …” is my clue.
Thank you. I have met versions of this person (men and women though I portray a female version here) and they are always dangerous, and a total mystery to me how they think. And usually, they seem to be pretty successful at achieving their aims, too.
It is that ability to pull off whatever look or behavior – pure attitude! I’ve met her and she is not nice.
Yes, and it’s beyond me to figure out how a person accomplishes this kind of thing or even what they think or how.
