Always Never Clear

by, Cassandra

They’re never quite sure what to make of
her (stenciled lines and scribbled words).
They’re never quite sure how to question
the (fingerprint) answers she leaves behind.

“Anyone can. Not everyone will.”

Wallflower fades into the background,
but her words are always (never) clear.
(her view is always front and center,
staining arms and faded blue jeans.)

“Can you?”
