MAKING LOVE.A Poem by Terry CollettA LARGE WOMAN WHO RODE EACH DAY ON THE BUS HAS DIED.The large woman Who each day took Up two seats on The bus, while she Was listening To her mp 3player and Chewing boiled sweets, And dreaming of Meeting and then Marrying her Mr Right, and Looking straight out Ahead at Max, Giving him the Eye, smiling and Revealing her Decaying teeth, Has died; and none Will attend her Funeral at Half noon today, Except the priest And the thin dame Upstairs in the Large woman’s down Town apartment, Who had borrowed Sugar many Times, but never Brought it back and Maybe Mr Right who lived just Across the hall With his mother And who dreamed of The large woman And he making Love together. © 2010 Terry Collett |
