DILLY DOESN'T.

[dadio]

Sometimes he doesn’t
Come and Dilly has

To wait alone or
Sit and talk to the

Other girls knowing
That if he’d come he’d

Have taken her out
For a good old time

But when he doesn’t
Come she has to make

Do with what and
Whoever she can

And go home alone and
Make herself some hot

Cocoa and undress
And have her last smoke

Of the day and take
A last peep out of

The window at the
Young couples having

Their goodnight kiss or
Maybe he’s groping

Her and she looks like
She’s enjoying it

And as she draws on
The last smoke she’ll try

And imagine he
Did come after all

And she’ll imagine
He’s undressed beside

Her on the bed and
She’ll try to feel his

Hand run along her
Thigh and she’ll smile and

Say to the room take
Your hand off me you

Slimy toad and she’ll
Pretend he’s laughing

And moving his hand
A little closer

To her sex but then
The door of the bar

Opens and a few
Men come in and look

Around them but he
Isn’t there just new

Strangers looking for
Someone else looking

To have sex with some
Other and she is

Haunted by the words
With your ugly looks

You’ll not get a man
So said her mother.

intricate, how this works on so many levels
past, present, future
and those with mothers and disappointments

Thank you, judih.
