We Turn
The GPS says
It’s a ten minute walk
We take the trek
Down the hill
Cross the street
We hear a whistle
We turn
We turn back
Bodies stiffened, pace quicker
We hear a horn beep
We turn
Make eye contact
Driver smirking
We turn back
Avoiding the eyes of the red car approaching
We turn 16 next week
We turn the corner
We turn back. Strange car, tinted windows
We can’t turn the tables
We’re just two girls
We don't have a knife
We don’t have mace
We can't turn the tides
We can't turn them away
We can't change.
The ways of the world
So we turn back,
Bodies stiffened
