small well-worn white-soled
sneakers with brown socks
and blue jersey pants
snug with self waistband
gathers stitched in place
by hand with paisley blouse
in oranges and lemons
swirling with curlicues
leading to curly hair
grey; who is this woman?
perhaps unfortunate or
not; concerned with else
she walks with purpose
quiet, un-noticed by most
at the corner she turns,
shrinks; and then she sings
