SmileA Poem by Abigale LeCavalier
Previous Version This is a previous version of Smile.
Smile Walking midmorning, another cold day in Los Angeles, and the ever present sound of comfortable shoes echoes down the alleyway. The paper under my arm is two days old but poignant, another dead drag queen, and the 7-11 on Hollywood and Vine is under new ownership, the things I put in my scrapbook. I stop to scratch my name in a city bench, just before the good old black and white slows down to get a better look. At me. And I keep walking. Alone in the thousand faces, retreating out in the open, the more they see of me the less I’ll be seen, and I can finally smile that big smile. Like I always wanted too. © 2009 Abigale LeCavalierReviews
