she was spattered
her grief reduced
to markings in the urinal
but she knew
there had to be more
she knew there had to be
(more)
shallowness eludes her
as she grasps for her freedom,
she is in these sewers,
making the honest effort,
is she to be rewarded?
(she hurt herself today)
but the robotics
demand she go to the back of the line
when the man comes around
