Poetry: "Her World"

No castle wall
No noble steed
No valiant handsome prince
No glass slipper
Nor fairy-godmother
No world of make belief

No diamond ring
No minivan
No perfect picket fence
No in-law mother
Nor Betty Crocker
No world of make belief

A nine to five
A PhD
A metro card for the train
A coffee maker
Frozen dinner later
A world not make belief
