What the world needs now
Is not love, sweet love -
There is enough of that going on
On the 98 B-Line

Two lovers curled up
Taking over a space meant for four
Making me want to vomit
              (I hate couples.)

At least they are a distraction
From the smell
Of camphor and feline urine.
It seems to me that all 98 B-Lines
Smell this way
       (Or maybe it's just my luck to always catch this one that does.)

At least I caught it this time -
        Not stranded in an unforgiving street scene
                                                                       Wet benches and stone cold walls.
Of course, someone is complaining
About how stuffy it is in here
And opens a window to let in a breeze
That keeps my damp hair floating around my nose
Tickling.

Almost home now -
Just over a bridge, around a few bends.
Then I walk
Towards sunset,
Towards water.
