She slyly eats
Leftover chocolate she found
In her backpack
As she creeps down quiet,
Almost empty library aisles,
Balancing Thomas More on her head.
She observes, doesn't utter a word,
And thinks about a boy
Who would never meander
Through a library without reason.
And she sees what's always been
And never been,
Balancing Thomas More on her head.
