 Poems by T.J. Swisher

she walked hunched
         with two whittled sticks
adorned with orange flaggers tape
                 waving at the top,
 a crocheted brimmed hat
        with a ribbon of flowers
hung delicately around her head,
    the pinnacle of  Jenny Joseph’s “Warning”
shades of purple too short in some areas
            and too large in others,
      
into the café on her morning stroll
   sitting her sticks against the wall,
      talking to them before she goes
to purchase her coffee,
      addressing others with mannerisms long forgotten,
  in a tone stereotypical
          of a well-aged kindred woman,
  time and grace her company,
    taking in all that passes
       along the street and sidewalk outside
through windows in old fashion style,
    
  she lingers greeting the day,
    conversing with any and all,
            content within her own
as she slowly indulges in fresh coffee.
