Notes About The Poem

 

Tea Trolley Lady

In the morning I wear a head scarf, 
With glasses, I smoke a dart,
I push the tea trolley, with tea and coffee,
And the cookies- a la carte.

By day I’m the invisible woman,
Predictably safe and tame,
But, it’s when the moon comes up, 
That things just aren’t the same,

I change in the witching hour, 
To Rhiannon of the night,
Draped in black sheer down my body, 
Over the leather that hugs me tight.

By three I become your elusive dream, 
Your fleeting ephemeral bubble,
I am your safe little tea lady that,
By night, invokes the trouble.
