The Gossip Queen of Alcott Lane

crown of bobby pins and bandana
   she hoists a beer bottle scepter
   dime store paste royal necklace 
   moth holed sweater Queen's cape
   her well worn lawn chair throne
   she stays alert in  her tower
   surveys her realm on Alcott Lane
   nothing escapes the queen's watch
