rebound

wrestling with myself
but there is no noise in the scuffle

looking at someone who looks like me
from the corner of my eye

she tries not to be seen
like sounds working hard to bring no attention to themselves

she is
and is not all at once

rolled herself into a rubber band ball
years of collected thought with no bounce

getting from here to there, a life task
a solitary roll that hits an angle in the wall and just sits
