Rachel Gray – When she awoke


Rachel Gray

When she awoke, everything was gone.
The suit and the crown and the stars,
the tri-colored rainbow that glowed
from within.  There was nothing left
to do now, but wear a power suit
and work the ponds of corporate
America.  How gray it all seemed
after the gold and the flying.
