“People Watching At The Mall”
“We’re just watching people. What do you notice? Who do you encounter while there?
Write a poetic character sketch of the person that most catches your eye.”
Panic in pooled
brown eyes, little
red-headed girl
holds her legs
together, hands
clutch the crotch
of her dress. Mom
drags her over
to the Women’s
Room, commanding,
“hold it, hold it,
we’re almost there.”
