21 november



Cautious on the crosswalk, then cranking their backpacked-wings, the elementary angels fly,
waist-high and no waiting
There is no traffic we cannot bear to keep these white lines sacred – passage guaranteed, free of fear, clear to be
Ready for homeroom and onward, addition and pencil cases, just in situations such as those moments where there might be frogs
The hesitation on their faces just before they leave the sidewalk –
yes, yes, I see you and you may pass –
yes, you will have this day and many more
I will stop for you
and you will go
