Some Little Goose Girl Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

some little goose girl

some people think you are

what difference, does it matter?


God knows where you are


and those who see you flatly

because that's how they see

will just go on forever


straightening your seams

thinking, oh God. if she only had a clue.

well.what else is new.


here's what I would do

in a situation like that.

scatter the rose gold crumbs by the river


and wear my favorite hat.

the one with the Hanging Gardens on it.
