A pantoum
Color and motion are on parade
as she sashays down a cracked city sidewalk.
The teal backpack is careless in both content and style,
but it’s paper stuck to a boot bottom that steals the show.
As she sashays down a cracked city sidewalk
her sweater swings to the beat of her steps,
but it’s paper stuck to a boot bottom that steals the show,
and that tells you all you need to know.
Her sweater swings to the beat of her steps,
but there’s a stowaway on her sole,
and that tells you all you need to know,
as she hoists a bursting teal backpack.
But there’s a stowaway on her sole.
On a free ride down cracked city streets,
As she hoists a bursting teal backpack.
Color and motion are on parade.

Lovely image and writing. Recently, at Fenway, a random woman removed two, not one, two lengths of toilet paper from my sneakers. Another example of the effect of grief in my attention to detail.
Fun one.
