Another zombie standing there
slouched,unfocused eyes and rotten teeth
the very picture of despair.
I bet she smells beyond belief.

Blank eyes accent the hopeless face,
rags display a total lack of pride,
hair looks tangled and out of place.
She totters with each weak kneed stride.

Her path weaves from store fronts to gutter,
goes to the corner, pause, then turn around.
I watch cracked lips which seem to mutter.
Her glance turns up then from the ground.

(with her silly finger flick to the back of his head,
a tricky scenario dissolved)

" hi Hon, wacha doin?"

"wanna go get some ice cream?
it's a really nice day"

"you know, you spend a lot of time
on that. You should take a break.
let's do something fun"

"When are you going to finish that?"

"What's so important that you can't spend some time with me"

"I'm starting to think you don't like my company!"

O You My Friend,
You fizzled my worries & put them to a halt.

To help our friendSHIP to sail to SALT.
