Through The Pitch Black Doorway


She works in the laundry

Or so she says

With her woollen hat

And her dark dark hair

And her pristine apron

And her old fashioned dress

She works in the laundry

Is what she says

Through the pitch black doorway

And the damp brick work

And under the rusted sign

And the expensive white lace curtains

She works in the laundry

Only she says

As she stands in the doorway, her hands on her hips

And yet no clothes are washed

And no clothes are dried

And she never ever goes inside

She works in the laundry

She will continue to say as nothing is seen

And she never leaves

And no one goes in

And nothing is heard

Except the cries of a woman behind the expensive white lace curtains

And everyone knows she doesn't work in the laundry.

Do you ever write something and was like... meh, this will do.
