five oclock’s the first to leave
it also goes out through the staffonly door
its mouth’s a horn it leaves behind
its voice is the sound of the horn
its word is its voice that goes out in the rain
that goes through the rain
without an umbrella without getting wet
it wraps itself around the parking lot
it gets into parked cars through locked doors
before the parked cars’ voices are cleared
before their words are started
five oclock’s word ends and its voice dies
five oclock’s the first to leave
About Me
I have a day.
