ThE CRaZY LaDY

A woman speaks loosely on the bus and is laughed at.

ThE CRaZY LaDY


She spoke to herself needing no confirmation.
She debated with herself needing no moderator.
She told jokes without the need of an audience.

A few found her amusing; laughing at her.
A few more showed their obvious unease by moving away.

I watched her though--with envy.
I had never seen a soul smile so freely.
I had never seen a soul living in
this world so care-free and happy.

I wanted to travel to where her mind was.
It must have been a beautiful place.
