Children's Time
by Mark Waldrop
During what's called
"Children's time," one day at
church Sarah
slides her left foot halfway
out of her tiny ballet slipper
to show Davie her
toenails
are painted the same soft
pink as the inside of
her shoe.
"Look," she says.
"My toenails are invisible."
She shrugs and tilts her head,
slides her foot easily back
inside.

I really enjoyed this Mark - it captures a tender moment really beautifully.
Deeper meaning to this one, Mark than first meets the mind. Perhaps the girl feels invisible? If so why? And the 'Inside' means something too. This resonated.
