Description
I drive through a neighborhood with boarded up shopfrontsIt's the way to the highway
from where the normal people live
Here people aren't out in the late evening
especially not when rain is drizzling from the sky
and the street lights are dim
I approach a red light
And I see a person
proving me wrong
A haggard looking black woman
smoking a cigarette
leaning against a telephone pole
in the middle of nowhere
She looks at me as I approach
I see in the rear view mirror that she's still looking
once I drive past
making some sort of signal
moving from the pole to beckon me back
I don't stop
I wouldn't dare
She'll be forgotten
by the time I get on the highway
