a weird poem for albuquerque crosswalks

buses pass inches
from pretty girls standing at
the edge of the street
drawing wisps of hair dancing

i stand further back
unable to feel the sort of confidence they must
that the world values their beauty too much
for a city bus to spoil

  1. I second the sentiment. Also every time I reread this I think of Regina George.
