There is a man in a suit just down the
hall, next to the table, through the far wall. Over the highway, in the
slow-moving stream, under the skyway and out on the beam. He's near to the
sun now, and far from the ground, holding a candle that's all but burned
out. He stands and he waits for a girl he once knew who took a handful of
pills, all yellow and blue. She's nowhere near coming and still she just
passed, she's wearing a dress standing left of the mass. He looks at the
churches and happy ones there. She stares at the ceiling without such a
care. She's spinning in circles and rising so high. He waits for the
girl and keeps thinking why. He'll wait for a year and a decade or two,
yes he'll wait for the girl he once thought he knew.
