I Saw An Old Woman Spit In The Mall

What you see is not always what you get.

I saw a woman spit in the mall
I looked her in the eye and she still stood tall
She was 5 foot flat or less
With a face that scared me sh*tless
She was a 'manang' in every sense of the word
The one who seems to care for her every herd.
With the usual clothes her age usually wear:
A very long skirt and a top my age would never dare.
The lady was standing next to a bunch of kiosks.
Not to buy anything but was she looking for a toss?
She looked like she was waiting for someone
And maybe her spit had to come undone
Because right then and there in the middle of the mall
She spit her icky saliva and still stood tall.
