We Float
I am Emma, I can float through city streets, hearing, not comprehending, seeing more than seeking; I am Emma, muted puffs of powdered sky drift over the high, cold buildings. I rest in the translucent voices, radiate in the hums and ahs; I am Emma. Rich with history, my path well worn connects me through language, written, read, recited. I am famished for knowledge, thirsty for newness; I float on home as the train sways left and right, I am just a passenger looking out the window with my eyes closed. I am lost by choice in Waugh, Baldwin, Angelou. I am Emma, flying across the surface as you look back at me; in and out of kaleidoscope faces, no idea of who I am or why.

Hysteria
Stares were coming from all directions as I ascended the stairs into my mother’s favorite restaurant. It must have been shocking to see a woman’s body so exposed.

My eyes were looking something like a dark-eyed raccoon, and the smell of cigarette smoke permeated the air as I walked by.
