She wanders aimlessly through a crowd.
They all see her, some more than others.
She is a hundred yards from where she began.
They still watch to see if someone claims her.
She is crying and calling to someone.
They start to criticize and judge.
She curls up on the ground and grows silent.
They move in closer surrounding her.
She looks up with fear pooling in her eyes.
They speak in big words and hard questions.
She says she wants her mommy.
They wait with her until someone comes.
She gets yelled at and a swat for wandering.
They leave her and continue their lives…
