...The story of a girl in London, England

Sonnet 2

2/26/11

They come and go like pocket change for me;

Familiar in the shape, but none unique.

For, I have many pennies, nickels, seen—

But none that I’d remember, none I’d think

To recognize or set apart as best.

Nothing uncommon, truly superb;

A penny, afterall, is like the rest.

My life remains so very unperturbed

By fantasies of love and grand romance,

Which little girls are taught to dream oft of.

But little girl, you never get the chance

To find in life a meaning--more than “love”.

We hammer in the nonsense all her life,

Expecting her to live and die, a wife.
