Whispers

"Look there's a pissbum" She whispers to me as I'm walking down the street Someone is walking their Jack Russell "There's a cute hogger" Our private language runs through my veins I now see the world through her eyes I pass a yellow and green house A happenstance reminder of her favorite team's colors A ready, constant smile I see the world through green-colored glasses Ha! Her green eyes "It runs every thirty minutes" Her brain can wrap around a bus schedule Where am I going? She always knows "Let's cross the street now" She always had change for inexpensive pop machines They're a find where ever they be Always Diet Pepsi We scoped out a backyard Where she raised her kids "I used to go out for coffee once a day, it was my only escape" She's usually with me When I'm roaming around Slipping away When I'm home alone "Honey, there's a blue moon" I remember skygazing when the nights were cold Days when the world was an infinite space I hope the whispers never leave
