The fleeting sneakers

She wore a new pair of sneakers
and an always welcoming smile.

She spoke of this and that
with enthusiastic involvement.

She laughs contagiously,
which I so often forget.

She looked content
but may feel a bit sad.

She became somewhat elusive
and I can almost understand that.

But she should come around more often
in her new pair of sneakers

So that we can kick up some dust.
