She's a Crowd
for Anna
Taut with portent, the worrier argues possibilities,
the silent urge of others to fall on laughter. She does.
The scientist argues possibilities as a showerhead,
all spray and pressure before a turn to focus:
variables, processes, delivered data and a statistical
analysis she often struggles with. Then there’s the
felter, the Say Yes to the Dress enthusiast and us,
the control group basking somehow in the constant
all of her.
