Fifth and Main

The lady sits upon
her concrete throne
draped in bits of
lace and silk
as diamonds fall
from her eyes
remembering how she got
to be queen of
the corner of fifth and main

I agree with Lynne, how many of these women do we pass everyday with no thought about them at all? Sad in my opinion because everyones life is worth more than this.
