it was cold daylight in the gagging parking lot. so wide open. he brusehd
his sleeve with his right hand. removing the last bit of calm from his suit.
the traffic drove passed taking no notice. life digesting in thoughtless gulps.
"see", she said, as she tucked her hair behind her ears. her old
blue jeans hanging like drapes about her thighs. everything she wore was to
conceal something. every sentence she started out loud she only finished in
her head.
he cleared his throat and adjusted the shirt tucked neatly into his pants.
as the traffic still drove by not caring. life still happening in loud asides.
their own frail stage shivering beneath them. as they gently pulled the cord
on the curtain.
and waited there in the gawking daylight for it to close.
