yoga girl

watch how
high I can kick
my leg
up, she says
in her ballet
slippers.
and her leg
does go up,
the toes
above her head.
it's a wonderful
sight to
see, her so limber
in her pink
tights,
tiara on her
head, eyes
bright and
beautiful. now
you try it,
she says.
and you say not
now.
perhaps later, but
please,
continue.
