She wears a permanent frown On her deep lined face An unwanted trophy of a hard life. New day, same story: Morning paper Handful of scratch cards Scratching away as she walks Expressionless Probably no longer expecting to win But willing to pay the small price To hang on to the dream. I wonder if she remembers What the dream even is?

An Unwanted Trophy
She wears a permanent frown On her deep lined face An unwanted trophy of a hard life. New day, same story: Morning paper Handful of scratch cards Scratching away as she walks Expressionless Probably no longer expecting to win But willing to pay the small price To hang on to the dream. I wonder if she remembers What the dream even is?
