bolted to the ground as she walks
disciplines the handle with both hands
disciplines the handle with both hands
her voice strapped lightly to aluminum air
a fixity both moot and finalized
cars / phones / coats scamper as they please
instant like mice
she is time-worn
skull compressed by attention lips pregnant with corrections
watch her sashay away
a furtive inkjet cartridge
an astronaut revolving in a cage
and L-E-A-P!
(with baby tied)
her shrewd and famished eyes
stealing steel nuggets from from the sky
she hides them in her arms
