CLOSED

shadow424

lonely shined down

from two lights

above a rusted

gas station sign

onto a cracked

pavement

forming two irregular

circles

a short distance

from two cars

at the buildings side

waiting like

two expectant fathers

for a berth

on hydraulic lifts

locked for the night

behind garage doors

until morning

when all the doors

open, releasing

the sound of

tools working

and cash exchanging

at a stained counter

next to a

gumball machine

begging for a

penny

    what we Shamefully do: to each other...
    what we defiantly Endure: for, each other...
    and in the hairline difference - between
    exist, all the wonder
    on our lives
    that makes it all
    worthwhile...
    (thanks for sharing
    such a genuinely intriguing read)
