December 5nd, Friday afternoon: 1.31pm

Wearing the dress that one boyfriend hates
Bouncing the leg; anxiously at the clinic
Cell phone shivers. Shivers again.
No, can’t party tonight.
Have to find out.

December 1st, Monday Night: 11.53 pm

Car seats + snow + air conditioning ≠ warm
Winter clothing to the throat
Divest the scarf, undress the woe
-Must go home soon-
Cold exposed, she holds her pose.
Paused, she awaits his cue
Cell phone shivers. Late for curfew…
No. I have to find out.

December 1st, Monday Afternoon: 6.42pm

Quick stop at the store, a party’s near…

By the doors, pretty little cashier
“Hey…I’m —-, would you like to…”
“…Sure what time?”
Quick…
Off the clock, find her scarf.
“Hey…no boyfriend right?”
“No…do you think it snow?”
