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.
