dusk arising

the receptionist mumbles

 


the receptionist\'s mumbles
inaudible
addressing me
whilst looking elsewhere
\"I can\'t tell what you are saying
when you are facing elsewhere\"
attracted a stone cold stare

that\'s when first i saw them
enormous
never seen a bigger pair in my life
couldn\'t be natural could they
wondering if she\'d made them herself
sat there in front of her mirror
how long would each one take

self conscious i began to
st-st-stutter
and stumbled my way to a chair   
wondering why on earth
did the sweet lady want
such an enormous pair
of eyebrows
