She Has It
Left shoulder shrug I just took it
 Tagged the signpost Riki
 Dare-stare eyes laughing already walking
 away, smooth-choppy hair swish
 Anyone would follow you like a piper
 
 That girl, the girl. Does exactly is exactly, doesn’t try to, as
 the only outlaw of the rules of almost anything.
 Stole the world like that street sign with fingers that
 aren’t filthy-snatch but almost claiming what is hers back
 Avenue-stealer, heart-stealer, boy girl wish stealer.
 
 Ever wonder why you write poems and I don’t
 No but now we’re wondering why we can’t
 seize her, be her, live life so strong we don’t need
 words to merely chit-talk-natter about it
 She’s shiny magnetic luminous like the
 aluminum-green fragment necklace she twiddles
 That sign she took she broke it she made it hers by
 force but we’d swear it wanted it, just to be the charm
 around her throat.
 Anyone would kill for what she has but then again
 
 She has it, and no one’s got the nerve
 to take and break rules and make
 anything like ‘em, adorn their collars
 with the world’s path markers
 fear no one and inspire no fear
 only admiration and a little bit of
 awe
 
 So vivid she doesn’t belong a shadow
 She’s been ready from always
 but the world’s not ready for her
 yet
