bristling
with self-defense
a curt reply
comes quickly to her lips
she thinks
she knows the world
and does not care too much
about adults
who have always been old
by definition
looking out for herself
at sweet sixteen
her body is some thing
difficult to control
only when
it is obedient
to the swirling figures
of her dance
her eyes shine deeply
and she has found herself
in delicate motion
