Cold, grey city
with cold, grey faces,
hands in pockets,
eyes expressionless and pale.
Queues of resigned people,
standing years apart,
each one thinking thoughts
that the other can’t impart.
Five foolish girls
share a forbidden fag,
glancing over their shoulders
with stilettos in a bag.
And in ten years time,
when they have been moulded
into mature, married women,
they will stand
In queues of resigned people,
standing years apart
in their own allotted spaces,
choking in the dark.
