Currently Positioned

"CURRENTLY POSITIONED"

she's a stretched out
green car driving
bag of emotional
emotions that linger
after each use.

she's full of 
acting skill
convenient memory
waterless tears
and denial.

she stands out 
overlooking her
17th street playground. 
watching
and waiting.

I wait for her
as she waits for
those that lied
for those that laughed
for those that left
while she
lies
laughs
leaves.

at 22 she likes 
those soulless 
and amateur boys 
that add no value to
their lives or hers
their lack of skill
finds her lack of 
thought and it damns
purpose into hell's 
waiting room.

she's claimed these
foolish dick-led boys
capture what she's never had
she's un-old
she's un-smart
she's wasted opportunity 
for the duration of a
phone call and
night drive to dirty sex.

often times
she thinks of one
remembers one
speaks of one 
and I laugh at every
attempt to convince me
I've gained what
they've lost.

she drives her green car
it carries a mixed bag
of betrayal 
she's empty without
her audience.

I hope her next performance 
brings a standing ovation
because I've asked for a
refund.
