Killing Time

Sitting on the kerb,
Watching the world go by,
Waiting for her friend,
Feeling cars rush past.

Picking at her nail varnish,
Twirling up her hair,
Putting on her lipstick,
Biting on a pear.

Skimming through her diary,
Playing on her phone,
Wondering what to do,
When she gets home all alone.

As her friend pulls up,
She's talking on the phone,
Organising a party,
So she's not home all alone.
