Make a Wall I'm flattered. While having my coffee at a Dunkin' Donuts, this gadfly comes in, day after day, to sit near me, with a single thought of: make a wall, make a wall, (with her face that is, in her mind). Someone has given her the two dollars to purchase the coffee and donut. She is oh-so-aware of me. Well, I'm only on my way to work. After me and my coffee. A gray-haired woman with pointed glasses. I don't understand. I'm Crystal Gayle singing, "Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue." I don't want to see you. That's why the lady is a tramp. Go hop a subway and stare there. Look there. I've nothing for you. Make a wall. She no longer has her warehouse job. She was yelling "I'm hungry" at the last one. Pity, no more work to be found. How pathetic to come toward me! Make a wall. The coffee is good, anyway. She loves her mother. Good. I might try creating a feminist story out of this to come down to her level. Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
