it’s a parking lot love
the kind you find at 24 hour diners at 3am
night people drinking bad coffee not quite happy
but trying to savor every second
driving too fast on the wrong side of the road
trying to find the high drugs stopped producing
ten minutes too late
loving the sunset only because it is going west
the place where dreams go
making plans not meant to be kept
plans to drive away, fly away
plans that die with the sunrise
the smearing of her lipstick and
an empty coffee cup
