how curious we should meet again
this girl who rode the morning train
and read out loud her horoscope
hers and that of her bloke
but now she is alone and reads -
- a paper-back fulfills her need -
where once she looked to her future
now light romance seems to suit her
of more surprise to me at least
her make up appears increased
and this morning she parted to the left
but now she parts to the centre
in three short lines of weaving weft
thank small mercy for her silent splendour
The Blue Book
