Sunday Stew: Stars Removed From the Sky, And Placed In Buildings

Hot pink hair on an underground train.

A homeless girl in the street rain.

Somewhere a couple moans together,

through walls that should’ve been insulated better.

Drunken friends stumble outside to see

where their next Uber will be.

A family tries to go to sleep

while others are at work, beat.

The night is endless, and so is Seattle.

Tomorrow is another’s battle.
