Sober Again



                           © Miguel Angel Ferreiros


She sings

"Don’t be so reckless"

And at the top of her
Wet soggy shirt
Her old
Pancake
Boob falls out

I leant her 30 cents for the
Pay phone.

She put the money
In the phone,
Hangs up

Moves to the other side of the room
And puts the money in her
Pink dressing gown pocket.

She comes and sits back down on the
Couch and we watch Australian idol
People drink coffee and the pay phone never rings.
