I wonder
by Elizabeth Challinor
People are deliciously different
I could write reels about this and that beautiful person I see
On the metro
But I shall tell you instead
About a small old woman
Bent forward on the platform
Wearing glasses
A patterned scarf covering her hair
A medical patch on her forehead
Imagine if she were suddenly whisked away
To give a Ted talk
I wonder what she would have to say!
