Messenger
By Anna Brooks

She carries a messenger bag; they say she's some kind of feminist.
They make fun in her small town.
She hears and never makes a sound.

Just walk right past,
don't say hello.
Hey pallor face,
and don't you know she's contagious…
Don't get too close.

She's a messenger,
running on her heels,
she’s walking nervous,
slip'ry surface
while she's clutching her shield.  
She's a loving stare,
from a mile away
but from her telescope
she sees you think she's fallen from space.   

Grey clouds will dawn on her,
she bolts but they have got her
cornered.
She'll never admit fear.
Pretend to know her business here.  

She's contagious, don't you get too close.

She’s a messenger running on her heels,
She’s messenger, while she’s clutching her shield,
She’s a messenger, don’t you know she’s contagious…
