Relieved an ‘occupation’, though
the military sense of it faded past
the post, no odium of an imposed
order to reflect upon, just an idea
of space echoing silently; with no
need to raise waves pressing her
case for our inclusion she simply
created new rooms for us too
year old view of what is had room
for what wasn’t, didn’t seek to be
unique - or claim private space or
avoid debate on responsibility - it
amazed and entertained
tossed away in an air of intrigue
masquerading as delinquency -
norms for elderly consideration
she claimed, tactfully addressed
as problems we all endure
make fun of me or my friends, ok
and I’ll let you keep your painted
toenails one more week - purple
with sparkles wasn’t my idea but
it eased a droll sense of levity
