Chaos
By Ra
These are the first tacos
after 438 days in jail.
She’s smiling,
focusing on food,
and freedom.
She’s ignoring the noise,
the flickering lights,
the customers in mismatched clothes,
the music,
the people on phones,
the cleaning supplies,
the smells,
the traffic outside,
the door without locks.
She’s smiling,
but every time she sees this picture,
she tries to see
the freedom.
but can only see
the chaos.
