Suburbia

Those reoccurring visits,
 she's never doing them.
 and showing-up where some guy treats her bad,
 is constant;

I guess, a good boy, friend,
 with all of everything,
 the normal life,
 is not fun, or wanted.

I'll take the fifteen into town,
 to shop from store to store,
 and walk around,
 on streets paved with brick,

I'll find her:
 the Redlands bowl,
 or the library.
 It's almost evening,

she might be in one of all of those empty seats,
 suspended in the electricity,
 in the reverie,
 watching the setting sun.

It's charming,
 and incredibly moving,
 the romantic comedy,
 the lovely movie,

the guy who doesn't need anything,
 in the closest seat, talking to the girl,
 like a foreign language that in a few months, he might get,
 a French conversation,

from two people,
 a boy and a girl in the tenuous night of the city life.

Jordan.
