Progression Stings Like Altoids

Miss.Molly had tree stumps for arms
they were dark, ebony wood, and petite
one ring incased the other
leaving her age for everyone to see
she couldn't hush everyone's chatter
pestering her with questions of who she would be
one year more than 22, her response is laughter
"I'll find my calling swinging by then leap."
so positive her words set to a timer
promised she'd catch it tomorrow
then planted herself in red dirt
to uneasily will herself to sleep
