A sea of steel helmets jack booted up the Strasse
in perfect stamped precision
She headed in the opposite direction
her wet hands clinging to her bag
heading in the opposite direction
trying not to draw attention to herself
She was sure they could hear the pounding of
her heart
so long ago
Mind you
she is still heading in the opposite direction
Ducking and weaving
Avoiding the jack boots
