Ext. Polly's Completion

She's rewriting with a happier
                              ending
She's blessing the way
     counter-blessing
The beasts and childless
tremors in the uncertain
like gulls          cries so
desperate     so lost at sea
she's riding a happier ending
sees the connection of
musical notes     to everything
just give me some good background
music     she thinks          and I
               win the race
A car soundtrack     she thinks
that's what I need
A voice that nods
follows through          she
doesn't even care what time it is only
that there are minutes left     she
doesn't want to die before she sings
