Walking Alone Through A Collonade Of Trees

Walking alone through a colonnade of trees
A brown business woman watched the sun rise in Hyde Park
Pinkish-red mitts matching her soft angora turtleneck,
Beneath a purple felt hat, brand new scarf
And black winter coat.

Frankly she stared at nothing
While the lit sun warmed her face
Realizing that this is what life must be like
For people who don’t work.

And turned white.
