Apparition Poem #433 (Adam Fieled)


#433


When they go out for a smoke,
she looks at the stars and is glad
(there are none in Center City).
Her mind realizes the pun and
scoffs— as if those two-bit
degenerates, with their Gucci
glasses and Le Bec Fins, were
really stars. But the people here
are beneath her too, for a different
reason. They’re talking to her; she’s
not listening. She’s looking at
Glenside Station, and dreaming.
