This is What Her Life Had Become

This is what her life had become

a towel, tossed aside, used for last night’s clean up

seen in the early morning light

institutional: hotel room, white

linens, white everything except for the

tan, sandstone, beachcomber shades of

light brown

This is what her life had become - -

half way almost pleasure minus connection

pushing away the overzealous

not quite right vaguely annoying

rehearsed Mona Lisa smile so as not to offend

this is what her life had become?

revisiting a room

perhaps the very same

five years ago and one month ago

the last time the final time the

other time the freight train of

electricity brought her to opt in

uncross her legs and begin

again to….

This is what

her life

had become
