Queening



I bet the queen wishes
She was someone else
Entirely, a postie or a
Poet or even
A genuine retiree

So many things
She’ll never feel
Like what it’s like to be unknown
Or beaten up
Or sent back home

I wonder if she dreams
Of saying goodbye
To that waving work
Then just going down the boozer
And acting like a total jerk

But why do I seem to need
Celebrities and the VIP’d
Them up on pedestals
Me sucking my thumb
Waiting for mum?
