In a Circle
Like a lovelorn Maitre d'
tall and austere
Like an pine tree
bustling in air
Like a bumblebee
lost among someone’s dream
Like a butterfly
stroking upstream
Like a spawning salmon
coursing against the flow
Like a rebel
righteous and aglow
Like a neon sign
on a Las Vegas street
Like a cocktail waitress
out on her feet
Like a single mom
at a discount sale
Like a musician
blowing in a gale
Like a hidden affair
devastating and hateful
Like a broken heart
sad and miserable
