You young lads with bright faces
and quick, sudden movements,
you don’t even see this old lady
walking with a stick, much less realise
how startling you are to her, darting
so close and so unexpectedly —
not doing anything wrong, just unaware
that some of us can’t move anywhere
near as fast as you, to get out of the way,
and have become fearful of falling.
