the woman next door
still uses a typewriter
in her story a child
stares out of the dark
where she goes to dream
of abandoned railroad tracks
the child's imaginary friend
a Japanese soldier from WW2
smiles loudly and exclaims
"Wasn't that a splendid sunset
over the sea this evening ?
We got there just in time,
before it was already taken."
the woman types & types
until she is a child again
carrying her big teddy bear
behind her down a dirt road

Wireman - it might prove out to all be a scene in some movie
but something calls me away from all that
