My path home lit by the stars
The dark swallows fading hoorahs
Of a night on the town, we wore our best gowns
But then it was time to depart

Strolling on unsteady feet
Stepping on mismatched concrete
Food getting cold, feeling so old
Hours after I should be asleep

A parade of trucks by the road
Overnight works, the residents' woes
All the men standing idle, as I pass by I bridle
Engines on and the poison doth flow

I ask, can unattended vehicles not sit
Dormant so as not to emit
And belch greenhouse gases that are choking our asses
And he says "why should I give a shit?"

Time marches on
Stories untold
Until the end
Time after time

Abandoned and left far from home
No change and no charge on her phone
She swears "never again", she's done with these men
Who make her feel small and alone

We sit and we share lukewarm chips
Awaiting the late taxi trip
To drive to her daughter, maybe she ought to
Make a bed so her mother can kip
