teacups 4 sale.

water snakes, as high as her thighs.
yellow roses to interstate 91.
radio is blaring, van morrison is singing.
thoughts of you and me linger in my mind,
the thoughts of what could have been.
train rides with old lades, older than fossils.
places just across the table top, top of the line.
american flags cry while my baby leaves.
walks right out the door, no looking back.
upset stomachs and mad moms, tonight
will be a night to remember.
