Crumpled, Discarded

afloat on a drifting thought
about how she turned out
to be really right

     about how wrong he was
     in brushing her mood away
     as part of the night;

now he feels discarded
as a crumpled wrapper
there by the gutter,

     desolate as the chugging
     of the midnight train
     muffled by the rain.
