It was a sunny day in June, the first day freedom danced, licking a stick of Vanilla ice cream. She was beautiful like the moon, tall like a giraffe gazing through a rooftop, a half-shirt skirting her breasts like the cock of a bottle; a pair of black pants throwing her butt out into the air; two spindling feet mounted on a skateboard; two rings on her nose; two clasped on her lips; two earrings on both ears, perched like a bird on a branch, smoking grass.
