She closes her book

and before getting up

checks her lipstick in the reflection

and getting off

steps aside

a feint, her gait in a shopfront pane

ah, the pain of choice

well, it wouldn't be for any lack of time or money

it's really ntohing for her to pay

because by her watch darling

it's already half passed a lifestyle made

a different eye dilates

and having taken a look

notes the part in a play of prediction

it's making her laugh

she tries to stop

she might do something silly

ah, the pain of choice

uncertain and not for a lack of a mind that's doubting

but to a world well, what would you say?

that finding anyhting only ever seems half a reason to stay?

oh for gods' sake

I'll buy her a watch

darling, shes already half passed a lifetime saved

and runs late enough without having to lament about it

oh yeah

she really shouldn't waste the same hours that you've had.
