Being Practical

She squawks at birds

and yells at the sun.

She holds the world

in high disregard.

She laughs with her heart

and smiles with her eyes,

pats, flatters and giggles

with infectious innocence.

A practical thinker

with a mind for lunacy.

She takes stairs two at a time

and treats life the same way.
