Scene In A Parking Lot

Nic Sebastian

---

he is thin in his socks
she is plump she is small
I see them in the parking lot
in November she holds him
tight he talks does not stop
talking he pries her arms loose
carefully he talks he gestures
his hands are thin he keeps his eyes
on her face she puts her hands
in her pockets she listens she looks
at him at far places I cannot see
from my window the back
of her head is curly brave they stay
for a long time he talking she
with her hands in her pockets
and my soup boils over
but I watch them I
watch them until the end
