In three seconds

There was a woman standing
Tall and hard for the bus

A railroad spike in sidewalk
She held her black sleeve arm limp
Left along her waste to grip her wrist

Origami craned her neck
Like a tongue could trace her folds
And lines that traced her face

Down Whitney
Long for her ride to work
She stood strong as the rising sun

Her elegance to blind
