she smells of cheap wine
and menthol cigarettes
gets an ache in her knees
when the clouds crowd in
there’s a weathering to her skin
a line for each prayer she’s said
“she’s lived a hard life”
the neighbours say
but I’ve heard her sing
in a tom waits' raspiness
watched a missing tooth smile
stretch the lines on her face
and who was I, or you
or the guy down the street, to judge?
to point out the age of her clothes
and assume she never laughed

Makes me think of Crazy Mary kinda..
And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key
