this time they’ll hear me.

This time is like all the rest.

The car turns,

and I’m left standing in the highway.

A red Jeep,

the top down,

full of blondes

already sunburned,

drives through me.

the sun blaring my form

into nothingness.

Invisible, I can stare all I want.

and bronze skin

sips an iced tea,

then sets the open cup on her belly.

As she swallows,

her throat bobs,

then her tongue peeks through her lips,
