little girl
puffy purple coat and
tiny purple gloved fingers grasping
a single purple clover
little black shoes
and little legs streched out over
the lap of "Tata", wearing
a black beanie over crazy curly hair---
the kind you find on
young indie musicians
and students in grungy coffee shops
smoking cigarettes on graffiti-ed dark street corners---
whispering soothing words to
tiny ears covered by
a tiny matching beanie, but purple,
both looking at the passing evening world,
dim-yellow streetlamps and lit-up storefronts
as the tram rocked along ---
until the tram-stop bell sounded
and the two entered that world
together, hand in hand.
