The Princess and the Tea (8.27 to London 9th March 2009

by Jeremy Ducane



Coming down the carriage with her coffee, tea and name badge,

She LOOKS like an Emelia.
Serious and quite beautiful in some ways
In her dark skirt
Her keys that hang and jingle
Her expression of slightly resentful concentration:
A miniscule pursing of the lips as she pours
- She was not made for this.
She was once a Princess.

She still is.
