    Okay, we knew

She drew a circle
To shut me out.

I called her the “Sidewalk Girl”

She would always
Show so much flout.
So...

With wit and love
And hope so full

For love and I
Will always rule.

So bounded by
A single line,

I drew a circle that made her mine.

No not with pen nor pencil quick

But with reciprocity.
