GIRLS

If you live by water, Gabrielle
you lucky person
if you live in a forest, Evelyn
or deep in a valley, Maureen
high on a mountain, Janine
are you closer
tell me are you closer

4 o'clock in the morning
a motor idling despondently
outside a chicken take-out
joint across the street
I hate it, girls
I hate that motor.
