Happy Hopper Days ('New York Movie') She used to listen to music,
Responding with every pore,
Now all she hears is sounds
That speak to her no more.
The voice is distant, though near,
Someone, not her, is on stage.
She wasn’t meant to be here,
It’s not her time, not her age.
It’s somebody else’s theater,
It’s somebody else’s life.
She’s merely a spectator,
She’s somebody else’s wife.
This painting - 'New York Movie' by Hopper - is one of this week's writing prompts from Margo Roby (Wordgathering.)
Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur
