Where Are We?

In the restlessness of a dark night

we board the bus with empty seats

to a destination that isn't mapped.

And in these lost hours we stretch our legs

in residual back streets without light,

carouse with souls who don’t speak our language

and whose judgment is of no consequence

to those who evaporate with the dawn.
