Notes About The Poem

as it unfolds

she had youth on her side
and couldn't care less
the world at her feet
oblivious to what's out there
perhaps lurking in the dark

like rose-coloured lenses her filters 
paint for her a contorted reality
and she smiles and she laughs
almost delirious in her delusion
nothing we could or should say
we just watch holding our breath
