Secret Queen
A palace of disguises,
Different subjects every day,
Mending lorries,
Driving trains,
Pointing exits out on planes.
Rubber gloves for counting cash
Fish and chips
Public baths.
The cinema, big mac fries and a coke
Market shoes,
Primark coat.
Cleaner
Librarian
Gossiping WAG
Blinged Up
Got Down,
Dog, in a bag.
Drink beer,
In a pub,
Fall in love,
Kiss,
Be kissed
Write a grocery shopping list.
Steal a minute,
Sit off,
Dream.
See the things One has never been,
From your secret admirer,
Me, The Queen.
