A Good Little Girls Zine

Speed Matters

Across the street

there is hustle and bustle,

A constant buzz of thrill—

beats pumping, bodies moving

Continuous action.

Across from that is a still life sketch,

Staged to perfection

Colors and objects in

Exact locales—even the wind can’t shift them. 

Then there’s me.

Swerving back and forth 

pedaling to balance

side to side

Down the middle of the road.
