Drama Queen
I know that’s what you think
Splayed out in party dress
High heels and all
In some old arm chair
I have obviously dragged
From some curbside
Junk dump
And here I am
Waiting for the 9:15
On a rusty old
Disused
Overgrown track
Which obviously has not seen
Any 9:15
(am or pm)
For quite some years
~
And the smoke approaching
Is quite clearly
Conveniently detoured
By an accommodating wind
From the old chimney stack
That also should be considering retirement
~
So what’s the game
You think?
~
As usual
All you see
Is what you want to see
~
As usual
You don’t see
Me
~
I am the girl
10 years ago
You were going to marry ~
The 9:15 is your train
The one you meant to catch
But somehow
It slipped your mind
~
It was the last train
On the last run
~
But you retired from our destiny
The grass between us became overgrown
And the wind blew the smoke
Of our fire
Away from your view
~
So here I am
A discordant note
In the symphony of your time
From yesterday
~
This drama
Is your drama
