After a wet evening and night
they wait for some a pickup
by the sidewalk.

One guy is eating
a Chinese mish mash.
The other one is flat on his back
with a heavy head
contemplating his life.

A car stops.
It's the cops.
They ask what's up.

They don't know and the cop's
shaking heads drive on.

Are the guys still there
or in bed at home?

The dawn will tell.
