PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am on my way

to finding the way

that slides by us.

Finding the way

that leaves us looking

for lost loved ones

and train tickets

left in phone booths.

Beautiful women walking

the other way.

Those same women

will deplete your bags

of strawberry cocaine.

In the morning,

they've never known you.

You will touch yourself

in hopes of belonging

but you never will.
