temporary

i.

it haunts me, i swear.
the location dripping in frozen sweat
it's mentioned --
THERE

and i know this is where (your) destiny
will be found;
in parcels, canvas bags.
and there will be a girl on the ground, waving goodbye

ii.

time to put on your shortest miniskirt
and the plaform dancin' shoes
play the game, again,
because you know you'll never have to bundle up

drink until you're blind
fall into bed giggling at a stranger's jokes,
only to cry again in the morning, not knowing
what name you called out the night before

iii.

tomorrow, appointments will be made
in familiar area codes.
smile, business appropriate:
you know where you're standing.
this place has become home;
you have no other alternatives
