Her silence speaks volumes
Not uttering a word says everything
She is the deep thinker
The one who discerns
Observing the actions of others
She marches along
Getting lost in the crowd's sea of faces
It's almost as though she is invisible
She's seemingly oblivious to the world around her
Yet she drinks in every sight and sound
Never standing yet she is outstanding
Taking in detail that others miss
People push past on the left and the right
She ignores them and forges ahead
She's not a lonely girl
She's just comfortable
Being alone in the crowd

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
