In this rapid progress; 
I look sideways
and there she is;
arms filled with velvet rope blue
and fragments of concrete
spilling from her seams.

She must have been a perfectionist, 
that Anna,
each bold letter 
innocent of error,
conforming absolutely 
to the red brick
sheet of paper
and journey.

A-N-N-A

She writes her 
Bronx 
love story and
then whisks away,
to fix her life
and a bowl of cereal,
in her messy studio apartment,

above the  gas station,
while cars drive by
and I sit in the back seat
and wonder               who was she?
