alone….
good intentions….
tried and tried and tried….
for what…
a kiss…midnight embrace…supper at 6…

alone…
raking leaves in the fall is no-more….
let them scatter…pile high….let the colors die…
you never liked my technique…
wrong wrong wrong….is there a right way…

alone…
room rented…
bus taken…
strolls on cluttered sidewalks…
no-one ever picks up trash….

alone…
we are no-longer…
lunch-breaks taken years ago…
assembly line left behind…
forgot to punch the clock…

never earned vacation time….
