In The Lobby

In the lobby

Fire crackles

Questioning.

Clock ticks

Reminding.

TV blasts

Doubting.

Jacket scratches every

Goosebump.

Sweat bleeds out.

Breath races.

Awaiting a brunette bob

And high heels.

Click, click, click.

Through the door.

Sweet perfume disrupts

And Leads into the elevator

Unlocks the door

Welcomes.

The clock ticks there, too.

Reminding.
