broadway is black except for red & blue flashing lights. traffic comes to a halt then quickly resumes its slow crawl down the road. nothing happened. somewhere a fire is extinguished. a star explodes. all the roses wither away. a gardener hopes & prays that they'll maybe grow. no amount of sound could muffle the pounding of a heart with one beat left. on this darkened street corner, i watch one rose wilt.
