Journal Entry, 1998

Heather stood alone on the dance floor,
swaying from side to side
with her hands clasped together,
tears on her cheeks.

Markus looked at her from the DJ booth,
he was playing a song he had worked on.

Will you still love me when the money's gone?

The lyrics filled the room. 

She smiled at me,
it was their song.

 

The idealist walks on tiptoe, 

the materialist on his talons.
