In My Neighborhood (She Knows She's Crazy)

She knows she's crazy
On her meds staggering around
With dog in tow

She knows sometimes
Sitting on my stoop
Talking to herself then to the dog

About neigborhood
About her missed opportunities
About love missed

And she cries
As eastbound traffic swoops by
Then lurches off

Dragging dog memories
Following the traffic
