For a split second
I think he actually considered leaving me
in the parking lot of the Silver Sands
And I can't remember why
we were so mad
(though the drive alone would do it)
but what I do recall
is in the time it took him
to lock the door
and start to drive away
I'd already said good-bye
wondered which direction I'd go
my hands in my pockets counting change
calling card numbers flashing in my head.
