Poem inspired by Edward Hopper’s 1927 painting, Automat

 

THIS WOMAN

Who was this woman ?

Who waited every day,

Every time at this place

Who did she wait for ?

 

Who was this woman ?

With these modern coat and hat,

With this lost gaze,

Who was she ?

 

Who was this woman ?

Who sat every day in this chair,

Who every day ordered a cup of coffee

Who was this woman ?

 

Who was this woman ?

With only a black glove,

With this posture

Who was this woman ?

 

Who was this woman ?

Who obsesses me, every day,

Every waking hour,

I never knew her name

Who was this woman ?
