Watery eyes

by Mike Malone - Gemini

Entering Londis with dishevelled hair,
grey and gritty set by bed and dirt,
Monday morning she crawls out her lair,
A scrumpled blouse and floral skirt,

Alone in the world or at least you think,
down the isle contemplating how low we sink,
gin today or wine, no gin stonger hit,
a glass full and a cigarette just lit,

Every day she comes in waiting for the day she dies,
thats the old lady with the watery eyes.

Reason for writing:

    suburban life
