leaves


Anne Marie’s 
stretched out 
like a queen

across the back

of a Cutlass Supreme



smokin’ weed

and talking with Kumar

watching leaves

scud across 
the reservoir



Mike is a jerk

cuz he hasn’t yet 
called her

two months at college

and he can’t be bothered

Well you know

he can go climb a tree

cuz he ain’t got 

the common
decency



to give the mother

of his child 
a shout

damn college boys

got it all figured out

    down that lonely road

    he'll wonder why
    she won't answer his calls

    and regret those days
    he was such an ass


    and in his dreams he might
    perhaps

    say the right thing.

    escape velocity

    & she---well,

    a thing

waiting for the boss

this is the story of a girl who lived in the basement of the girl next door sheltered in the confines of a  suburban tract house dungeon; her punishment for runnin' wild with dreams half unlatched she ran like a spirit in the night from those badlands wind blowin' through her hair shielding her eyes from the blinding light she hugged onto a shoreline of hope someday soon, she's not sure when her savior will rise up from the streets with an armload of rain soaked roses and second chances Rene ~ 2010 Click  Here   to join Magpie Tales creative writing group .
