RT - Poem - Who Are You Fooling?


from the ABC set RT - Rail Tales

Young woman sits
while an old man stands.

She gazes through
layers of foundation.

Does it screen the opposite wall poster?
Can't she read the "Who are you fooling?

Fake fur-collared jacket, label shoes.
Large black leather bag clutched

The old man has turned his neat,
clean but well-worn back.

He solidly sways,
not expecting courtesy.
