![]() "No Postcode Envy"A Poem by KT-B"No Postcode Envy" Stands alone, waving them off Wants to chat, gives a small cough Ignored again, the others descend Leaving her lonely, without a friend She gazes after, they enter a caff Having a chat, having a laugh She walks past in the pouring rain By herself, she must remain With her youngest, softplay she goes Once there, no-one she knows Pairs of mums, happily engage To her child she reads page by page Finally at the school gates Enters a convo, suggests some dates Coffee at hers, after school play Frosty silence and looks, said no way When she walked away, she overheard "have you seen where she lives, how absurd" They turned abruptly and walked head to head Nothing more could she hear, they had said She knew how they felt about her neighbourhood Didn't get it though, her neighbours were good Never had a bit of trouble in all the years there To judge on a postcode is just so unfair ****************
