on the outside
she
was plain jane,
with glasses
and flat
brown hair,
with no ribbons or
adornments.
she was
pale and reticent
and spoke slowly
with
words you could hardly
hear.
but there was more
inside
than she revealed.
i noticed that when
she pulled up
one pant leg
and showed me her
bright orange socks,
just barely
concealed.
