The nostalgia of TWA

I get how they feel, watching movies of their time. 
Just cause I feel it to.
Watching the planes fly high above my house I wonder:
Could Tom Hanks be in there, in first class,
And does that say TWA?
I could fall asleep, just listening to problems of the 70's
Being discussed,
In a dim lit room,
Eating Hamburger Helper off TV trays, 
Of scratched and stained yellows and blues.

  • leaving the heart

    she takes the stairs, 

    her heels click clacking down the hardwood steps. 

    she turns the tarnished silver doorknob, 

    and the door creaks open. 

     

    before her sits a man. 

  • too far to hold

    I catch a glimpse. 

    from afar, 

    the shine of his silky hair in the golden sunlight

    his expression unreadable, 

    as if he's pondering something he'd never tell a soul. 

  • watching him

    Kathy watched out her window as Samuel left his apartment, 

    spit his gum on the ground

    and lit his cigarette. 

    the same as yesterday. 

    the same as every day.
