Waitressing can steal your soul.
Assumed stupidity while you work towards a better life
To all the women looking to get ahead
Dempsey’s ‘Ramona’ sums their life up best

Time will never run out,
Such is her curse.
The banality of life
Stretches on as an infinite abyss.
She puts her head in her hands,
The future looks bleak
In an unforgiving cycle
of hard days and long weeks.

She lacks the capability to feel
Constructed of wires and steel
Despite her endeavour
She knows that she’d never
Be regarded as someone who’s real.

Ramona haiku
Ramona robot
Grim mind that doesn’t receive
Emotionally

Put away the cups and fold away your apron,
for the dance has begun.
Keys of black and white blend in perfect harmony
as the red dress begins to awaken.
Take my skin & bones and make them your own
so the light can be released.
Is has become was.

Ramona’s not a waitress
She’s got flesh and skin and bones
She fills your cup, and you fill hers
‘Cos at work she is at home
Yes she may be a robot
But she’s more human for it
She knows to love the things she does
Happy without more shit
