She sat by herself at the diner
Her usual french toast breakfast
was as good as any other day
She finished and walked out
to the parking lot to her white
Chrysler missing one hubcap
from the front drivers side
She drove home to her
apartment and set down
her bag She took off her shoes
and sat down on the comfy
overstuffed couch
She liked the way her body
would comfortably ease
into the cushions
She turned on the TV
and let it speak
It didn't matter what
was on it all came
and went through her mind
Oftentimes she would
begin to remember
memories and dreams
from younger days
and all the possibility
that was once ahead
Now so much of it
could only be seen with
a backwards glance
She closed her eyes
and began to breathe steadily
The sounds from the TV faded
into nothingness
She could see everything now
all at once
Vastness was no before her
How lovely it was
