Paisley comes to visit
The next day.
Well night,
To be exact.
8:00
On the dot.
When ya getting
Out of this place?
She asks,
Upon immediately
Entering the room.
Tomorrow,
I sigh,
They did an
Assessment on me,
Today.
What's that?
She asks,
Pulling a pint of vodka
Out of her coat.
They going to
Determine
How crazy I am.
Ooooooh,
She says,
Drawing out the o,
And slipping the vodka
Under my blanket.
Hey, Preslee,
Do you know who Sue is?
She asks.
No,
Should I?
No,
She says,
A little too
Quickly.
I just wanted to
Let you know,
I'm going on a trip,
With her.
So,
I
Have
To
Go.
But I'll see you,
Okay?
She kisses
The top of my head,
but before leaving,
turns to look me
In the eyes.
We're really
Fucked up,
Preslee.
She searches
My face,
As if she's
Searching my soul,
And I wonder
What she finds.
Tears
Cascade
Down
Her
Narrow
Cheekbones.
I know,
I respond,
And she laughs.
She reaches for
The door knob,
Preparing
To leave.
Goodnight,
Paisley.
See you
Tomorrow,
I call after her.
Goodbye,
Preslee.
See you
Later.
