Oil In the Water

She's oil in the water, that refuses to blend With a hair tie on her wrist, embracing the wind Pleasantly dowdy, breaking rules out of spite Above laws and limitations. She knows when she's right Don't go and dare her, she'll do as you please Just proof to herself, it's fit how she sees She's never lukewarm, laid back or fickle It's out of her norm, to feel, just a little Emotions come in floods of passion and cause Either, taking her breath, or not there at all If her aloofness is bothersome and you're pained with concern Ask and she'll admit, it was too insignificant to be learned You can't make her debate over anything political She doesn't care, either way. Not even a little Her mind is closed shut, accepting no visitors If you don't live inside, you don't exist to her A small minded person? Not even close Pick at her brain. She'll give you a dose A hardy helping of knowledge, about what she pursues accrued information. Advice you can use Sure, she's a challenge from a different planet She doesn't ask for acceptance, but will quickly demand it This is her world, you're merely a guest A Martian for entertainment at its very best

Many people like what you've described, Anna. I'm not unkind to them because change is always possible. Otherwise I stay clear of them. Many thanks for reading my "Childhood Snow." All of us see familiar things very differently. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M
