Long Exposure

Water glistened on my skin as I stepped out of the shower
Beading up and running down my breasts

Reaching for the towel that wasn't there
I sighed
And made my way resolutely out the bath
leaving wet footsteps across my sixth floor apartment
To get to the linen closet next to the bedroom

As I crossed the large living room
I automatically turned my head to gaze out the floor to ceiling windows
Whereupon I stopped in shock

For in the apartment building across from mine
There was a dozen people standing in a living room much like mine
Minus furniture
With one person's back to the window
Holding a binder of paperwork
A realtor I'd guess
Who was pointing at the fireplace
And probably telling them all about it

Meanwhile they all stared at me
While I nakedly stared back
For what seemed like minutes
Before I hurried on to the bedroom

A little weak in the knees
From my long exposure
