Automat

One at a table,
one at another.

Her stray hair is stroked
(by her.) He reads Wall St.

It's quite classic-
separate tables

brass glistens on,
polished spittoons

and reflected lights
a highway out to hell,

black as hell.
Extent of human reach, nihil,

and loneliness burning loud
like lamps left on.

--David Ray
