Seated

Seated

Seated on a stage

facing a familiar crowd.

Complemented for how

infrequently she moves.

Seated in the stage

of drifting far off

to where she has been

or plans to go,

when she can move.

This afternoon I had a chance to sketch “AL” in a familiar pose seated on a stage. I was thinking she probably has more time to sit around contemplating her world than any one in the crowd she was posing for.
