The Answer?
(1)
Everything said
can’t keep it all in
spilling coke and peanuts
leaking ink
all over the state
night birds singing
why are we here?
(2)
Taking it
easy
slow poison
train whistling
way back there vacant corner
before the downhill grade
steam simple?
(3)
At the station now
loitering
others running
from themselves
she finds you
a ticket
tattoo
on her belly?
(4)
Hunger pains
driving you
hazy sleep
her head
in your lap
rollercoaster ride
hiccups high
for another
clap of hands?
(5)
Spitting bird seed
she keeps herself
hollow light
ring ready
complete opposite
maybe for you
somewhere in the middle
the answer?
Good stuff, Stephen.
