Huddled by the bypass entrance
The sun glared at the Earth's
Asphalt facade, walloping it accordingly
Cameras sat patiently on the
Sign-beams like congregant birds
Waiting to snitch on someone
Behaving out of turn
Those adoring paparazzi
Admonishing, admonishing
Wannabe-rapper-wannabe came crawling
Out of the watering hole
Still parched yet gasping for air
Looking like he'd been swimming,
Looking like he'd been up against a current
That traveled generations wide
"Spare change, anyone,
Spare a quarter, help
Little old me?"
Tsk. - Doors locking
Tsk. - Glass shimmying
"I'm not out here for fun, man"
The whimpering stray
Bitch-slapping the open air
"Well, **** you all, any way"
The drone of throttled engines
Rubber to road and fleet vanishing
He's melting, on the wing of the onramp
He is being drunk whole
"Man, **** you all, any way"
An echo's trace as the ghost ships depart.
