Notes A/N: This poem is also best read in a beat poem style. Even more so than the last one was. It was hard to convey through written text, the way it would sound if it were vocally performed through speech. If you're familiar with ani difranco's style of performed poetry, then you might be able to guess the expressive dynamics that this is trying to imply through the formatting style. Just think of the words flowing like a river; pausing and rushing by turns to tell the story. Punctuation and spaces-added suggest pauses. While lack of punctuation suggests where it tumbles together one- word-over-the-other in a headlong rush. Longer sentence groups have a different speed than the individual words spread out over page lines like a freefall. Or at least that was the intention. Of course, the reader can read it however they prefer to. =) ------- Sam rocks. On the corner of the bed near the window. He rocks. Ignoring the wet spot, as the night's activities seep back out of him, like an open wound. He rocks. Watching traffic. Hoping one day he'll be noticed by those who drive on by.   He stills -- headlights that turn white curtains into yellow ones.   Eyes closed -- In mute denial of opening doors, jangling keys, and thick leather boots.   The hand - still pulls him from the window. Still pushes him onto his back. Still spreads him open - so far open. And, there's nothing he can do - except listen to the bed as it rocks. ---------------- Please drop_by_the_archive_and_comment to let the author know if you enjoyed their work!
