Gettin' Poetic

Impressive

She had hairy legs
and I thought she was a dude
as I glanced waist down
and saw long black socks
bunched into all black Chucks.

But then I looked up
and saw a regal older woman,
perhaps a hippie once,
dressed down in an A-shirt
and shorts,
slumming it on the train
simply because
she had somewhere to go
and no one to impress.
