Marcy

Her ID was borrowed periodically
By TV's Shannon Doherty.
That's how long ago it was.
And she came across so strong,
Like she'd seen and knew it all
And could calculate cooly
The arc of any human fall
Without a pang of pity
Or pointless disappointment.
She happened to see me that night
Enjoying my meatloaf and gravy
At the Sip n Bite
Almost another faceless figure
Smiling at a girl
Whose face has long since escaped to eternity
While Marcy's still burns.
