The Old lady and Her Cats
That old lady
In a ragged coat
carrying her knitted bag
Was not lonely
As she walked...
She was followed by her cats
That old lady laughed
As she looked
At pigeons pooping
On statues of men
Long forgotten
She was followed by her cats
That old lady a raving beauty once
Now shabby shiek in an orange shawl
Long skirt and army boots
Opened her door
Sat down in the faded velvet chaise
Picked up her book
Poured a glass of red wine
Lit a cigarette
And smiled knowing
She was followed by her cats
