midnight

in a ghost town after the supper show long after

the dozers and the snorers have drifted away to oblivion and back again

transformed as you would say remade as Hollywoodians say resomethinged say their betters

ya gotta have a gimmick as the saying is

a long conversation about footwear dull and meaningless interminable

helps and harms the foot he’s saying

she learns to politely abstain
