Always a tag-a-long
the dangler
the third
the one left behind
in an emergency
Never number two
number one a long-lost dream
something little girls
and old women dream about
in a world where they do not exist
Contemplating the role
of the ever-present
but seldom seen
or noticed third
needed by couples and groups
Time passes slowly
the tag-a-long
sinks into despair
weary of the chase
retreats to become – a loner
