Glowing Knowing

i see her through the windshield
outside Walgreen's
glowing knowing all my fears
with her pulsating neon red heart
she has a golden corona
and she is looking down with wise eyes
at the cigarette butts and bubblegum jewels
of the empty parking lot
silent benediction
awesome absolution
for the chaos of last night
and the chaos yet to come
she has some magic and mystery and melody
to spare
and it's all free
I drive toward the light smiling
until I realize she's a pay phone
and I don't have
any quarters.
