| Meet Emily, knitted in honor of an Unimportant Woman in Victoria, Canada |
An Unimportant Woman - Emily, Victoria, Canada
She walks along the waterfront, a temporary shelter
For Emily and her group of aimless artisans,
The girl stands strong in body and in soul,
But fate is not in favor of acceptance.
Emily was once a man,
Now she roams the busy streets around Victoria's harbor,
singing songs of love and everlasting peace,
Resisting stabs and punches with determined hope.
"It gets better" is her daily slogan.
As teatime draws the crowds away
She pulls needles from her backpack, sits quietly and smiles.
"They wage wars and I knit teddy bears."
