There was a song on her lips 
 
a child in her arms 
 
as palms outstretched, 
 
she danced along the  
 
scalding city streets -  
 
where she belonged.  
 
 
Here a right jig, 
 
there a light prance, 
 
In with the lights 
 
and out with her alms; 
 
she made a great show  
 
of sheer bravado, 
 
where none could have been ! 
(not for the urban-elite being ). 
 
Did reverses 
 
rope her in wings ? 
 
despair 
 
douse her flaming fears ? 
 
I wondered some 
 
accelerating,

as the little debonair 
 
receded into a tiny dot 
 
in my blurred rear-view mind. 
 
 
In the next change 
 
I decided to CR&Y 
 
 
Signing the cheque  
 
with my first try 
 
at being less a privileged on-looker 
 
by opting out of  
 
just one 
 
Chinese dinner!
