The Music She Hears

She sits on the bench Her life in three plastic bags Singing to herself Her mind dancing all about To music only she hears

I think we've all seen this woman, she is, sadly, in most cities. It is a very good poem and because of how it hits me, it is also very emotional and sad. Very good poetry, Barbara ... CayCay
