Poem -
The Bag Lady
- a tale of what might have been
Wrapped in Polyethylene she takes to the streets,
Pushing children to the side and spitting on unsuspecting dogs.
She gathers the rubbish in her pouch and smiles to herself.
She once pounded these streets in red heels and high hairdos smoking her cigarettes,
Flying to meetings with rich executives,
Until one night one of them almost killed her.
Then
Her life fell apart.
Now she feels safe walking these same streets and picking up those cigarette butts, hoping that one day she can save that girl that couldn't save herself.
