Sirens whine in
Dog howls fade out
It's cold I can see
My breath
In the breeze
Of
Pre winter morning
Or
Post summer late night

The sign sun stains in the duct taped window advertising gainful employment in a part time pay by the hour washer deryer upstairs hair stylist crumbling 1960s salon.
Chipped white washed paint draws in the custom customers  offering permanates in every style and yesterday's hair of tomorrow "put it on today don't worry about it till tomorrow! The doors open to a bell and hairspray smell, something that might catch fire in a spark or cancer the lungs.
  The smock and name tag carry home the hairspray scent and ghost in store radio fades the ears from sleep. The bed reminds you of the pay check though so you push it all aside.  
Help wanted wanted help  to get out of the make me want to die lifestyle

the first time you smiled the world went weak at the knees
the first time the sun saw you it blushed and the winter snow melted
the first time you said i love you i knew i was in trouble
the last time we talked you said it wasnt permanent
the last time you walked out the door the clouds came
they havent left
i dont think they will
you are the whim of the willing and the only true assassin

— The End —
