The Cranberries' "Dreams" comes on at the cafe

 

Dolores at Tower City
walks by the front kiosk
simple sweater, flat shoes
she seems shocked
that someone recognizes her
fearful I'll blow her cover
I praise her music
she thanks me and keeps walking

her end, a shock to us all
to the many who struggle
with self-loathing
thoughts of suicide
she comes in a song every now and then
I still love her music
she still lives
in little surprises
such as this
