she's being ridiculous

that's what they whisper
as she passes
with her glare
can't you see her outside is a thin screen
and she has withdrawn to the dim glow behind
can't you see her face is an empty glass
and the fog coated windows are not open

she's being irrational

they giggle
as she walks in silence and the waters part before
her
as if she were noah aboard her own ark but instead of his
two by two by two by two
she is just
one and one and one and one and
only
one
