Take one
Any one
Anyone at all

Over there
Her name is Karen . . .
Laura Sarah Mary Jane
Bobbie Sue . . .

When she was a little girl
She used to play
By the railroad tracks
Go to church
Though she didn’t like it much
Always more comfortable
In her jeans

She wore red mittens
In winter snows . . .
Had one teddy bear
That was dear to her
More than any doll . . .

She fell in love
With a boy next door
Who didn’t know
And never will
But that was long ago . . .

Yet all this of course
Is brazen fantasy
Neither you or I
Knowing that woman’s history
Having never seen her
Before this hour

Still now
Though none of it
May apply to her
Because for a moment
You thought it so
She will never be zero
In your soul

Always good poems, sir.
She can't be Blueskaya, or she is?
