2:00 A.M.~~~ Going Nowhere fast
Just another lost soul
2:00 a.m. Going Nowhere Fast!

Bus station,
rest room mirror,
never meant
for her pillow.
Weary head
balanced
in stereo poses,
tears all used up
and dis pair
of heads rests.
Completely exhausted
from the
sixteen times
she's peeked
out at the lobby.
He was due
there at ten
but she has
no where
else turn to
and is going
nowhere fast.
Eighteen
weeks overdue,
she is also
very late as well,
but after
she told him,
he promised her
a trip to the Mardi Gras,
to take her mind off
what might come next.
3:00 a.m and
the mirror is blank now
the china white doll
mimes sleep
six blocks away
in a three story walkup
tossing and turning
in a void of her dreams.
