In the corner - Steve Coel


In the corner.

In the corner sits the old lady.
Always grumbling, she mistily reads
week old newspapers.
Her spot's always ready,
been coming here years.
Has a coffee, never drinks it.
Never charged.
Round midnight she sort of 
prowls out spitting at passing cars.

From a distance staff takes turns
to see her home safe.
And each morning they waits
for her return
and another day.
