the numbers won't wash off you'd think by now they would through three showers a sink full of dishes and hours of hair streaking they've stayed on there scrawled on my hand at a payphone in plain black Bic taunting me now even as i type this i know i should call but i won't and i refuse to transfer them to something more permanent like paper or cell phone hoping instead that i will forget the way her hair fell across my breasts and her sad little smile our eyes meeting in unspoken understanding right before i left her there.Birth sign: Libra
