My hair curled from the rain,
effortlessly forging a look like
I’d wielded curling irons all morning.
I changed,
small black basketball shorts
so I could sit with my legs crossed,
but paired with small, jeweled black flats.
I looked important,
like I’d been important.
Stressed in new ways to others,
different hats or hairstyles,
but the same underneath.

Ah…but isn’t it interesting how people look at what they see and believe they know what’s inside…enjoyed the poem.
