What makes her different?
the answers happen every day
-wrapping gifts with red ribbons
even when they are to herself
-singing love songs to the schoolbus
two blocks away
-painting flowers on trashcans
with discarded spray paint
-using a circle to dot her "i"s
even when it's on a check to the mechanic
What other people see as a swirl
she sees as a straight line
from here to
everywhere
