this time it really may, quite possibly, be the end of all of this ambivilence
by Rene Foran
after work
she would drive by the train station
an everyday ritual
she'd linger in the taxi lane
for just three minutes
the average length of a cigarette
she'd convince herself that
she didn't care anymore
ha! free at last!
but her heart just nodded
knowingly yes, dear
as she'd drive off
she'd smile
but she'd never ever wave
Peace ~ Rene 2010

i always loved that moment in the movie, girl, interrupted--where vanessa redgraves explores with winona ryder the meaning of the term 'ambivalence'--
and here you've re-opened the investigation, i see--
good.
thank you, Gary. I think re-opening investigations sounds a lot cooler than picking at old wounds.

Rene,
I am new to group. This poem was a great intro to the power of your words. In this short poem you took me right into the middle of a story for me to start… and to finish.
Amicus poeticae,
Neal Whitman
Thank you Neil
Thanks for posting this in the TrainWrite group! I loved this when I first read it and was so happy to see it again here.
Wonderful poem with texture and a very sad feeling.
