leggings with illusions
and top with an allusion
a pair of once-white sneakers
and a scarf with intriguing features
brown tangled hair flowing down
and a butterfly clip all run-down
a curious face with freckles
and skin pale and delicate like petals
lips: thin, pink and dry
and little emeralds for eyes
gait was a skip and a strut
and headed towards who knows what
after all,
she was still young,
a neophyte
to society.
