Her every move
Is mentally choreographed,
Before she makes it-
Almost down
To every step,
Before she takes it:
She struts
Like a magazine model
Being photographed-
Walking down the street:
She's not the kind
Of a girl
To scuff and scruff-
She's very well aware of herself,
And she knows enough:
Another enchantment of the world-
Kind of reminds me
Of a music video,
Or some movie:
Or like she's
Putting on a live performance
Of a day in the life of a Manhattan girl-
Even though she's never
Been outside the state of Alabama:
But anyone
Can just imagine,
When she sleeps-
What she dreams...
The stage and screen.
