we drove and drove and drove
all day, endlessly looking
for the brown building
with the broken concrete
steps that took you in
and we sat and sat and sat
throughout the afternoon, waiting forever
for the brown doctor
with the broken english
to tell you the position you are in
she started to cry, clutching
my arm tightly as the doctor
rewrote our future with words
i couldn’t understand
didn’t want to understand
couldn’t bare to hear
we drove and drove and drove
all night, endlessly staring
out the window of a sinking
ship that would drowned us.
