Walked
To the window
In the bedroom

Looked down
At the sidewalk
Just in time
To see—

Running out of sight
Underneath
The bay window
Next to ours—

A pair of legs
Not-too-skinny
Dressed in denim,

A hand
Holding a grocery sack
Blowing in the wind,

And sneakers
With lime-green
Stripes on the sides
