She brings cake
when everyone else brings plastic spoons
She has rain boots
all the others squish and track
She turns the light off
when she leaves, she takes out the trash
Where would we be
without her?
The living incarnation of Parvati
the goddess who rides a tiger
holding a mirror and some kind of blissful tools
looking to do some good.
Look around you
you can catch a glimpse
on the bus or in a classroom
of her ordinary majesty
perhaps you knew her
as a child.
