What She Hid

a poem by Joshua Brown

 

 

I saw a girl

With a book

On a train

 

And I dared

To see

What she read

 

I saw her hair

Sloppy ponytail

And whisping shimmers in the sunrise.

 

And I dared

To see

What she read

 

I saw her shoulders

Loose but alert

Facing the waking city

 

And I dared

To see

What she read

 

I saw her shoes

Clean white

Ankle bared sprinters

 

And I dared

To see

What she read

 

I saw a girl

With a mask

On a train

 

And I dared

To see

What she hid.
