static & fog
You don't trust that place late in the night, where ocean meets the fog. Where static covers the abandoned shopping malls.
Thieves caught in fire. Thieves caught between the CLOSED signs and the car alarms.
Where static burns through the night.
Dark windows and heads dreaming of static in paperback. Paperback girls in plaid skirts and black tights, dreaming under streetlights. Red toenails in black tights, the hiss of empty rooms at the bottom of midnight.
Thieves abducted by train stations at midnight. Old movie calendars, an absence in paperback. Marching through the night. Holding a head full of static and fog.
Waiting for the stores to open.
