i was walking around another mid-america shopping center
with a collection of faces i've met before.
mostly men.
there wasn't a single conversation that seemed to include
myself despite my speaking.
i confessed at some point that i should keep playing the
guitar and not tell anyone i do anymore.
just post it online silently and no one respond.
i felt free from that and got angry as they spoke so i ran.
i followed this young asian woman with a tomboy look onto
this construction site.
we did not exchange words.
it was makeshift machine that does not exist.
she was behind the wheel and i planted my combat boots
on the left and the right behind while i sat on the ledge
of what i consider a ledge or a bumper.
she began to derby with a forklift driven by another girl.
everyone finally payed attention.
but it was clear this woman and i are now in love.
it is over.
