She was pregnant and in pain
Stabbed by her ex
Lived, I think, on the local heathway
on sex
Allowance book, Bible, toothbrush: all covered in toothpaste
condoms coated in toothpaste flowed from her black handbag

She asked at the tissues for recipience
And she swore and she swore and she swore
But I can't now recall a word she said anymore
just that her mother had told her it was futile to flip
At people who stared at her
as I stared at her
Scribbling something in a notebook
(in case it rhymed)!

Days later I telephoned
Asking for a Ms Cheryl Cooper
They had let me go after some tests
and kept her
But none of the departments had an inkling
of who I was on about

Well done

I liked this when I read it on the poetry forum. I wish it were a bit less enigmatic, if for no other reason than it's a fascinating story. On the other hand, maybe it's fine to let the reader's imagination do the work... :)

!!!

this is a VERY interesting story, I wish you had completed it, but I will settle for this slice of life and wonder about "her" all day now...

:)
