it is a rainy day

and the pavement slick with water

and her heels go down clicking

click click click

and they are red and she tries

to show that she is powerful

and important

and that she matters

in this city of people who are all the same

blonde and asian and street

snapbacks and briefcases and tattoos

coffee and tea and mineral waters

but she isn’t

and she is still just

insignificant.
