standing at the corner
of cinema street
she saw her life in picture in picture
22 year old self in the bottom right corner
celebrating her first “career job” as an adult
with the clink of mugs carrying fresh mint tea
the other 75% of the screen
was her present day face in extreme close up
five minutes before her next job interview
other than the speckles of sweat, we see
the lines that grew from laughter
the marks from clumsy adventures
and eyes that still hold wonder
