she was the one they all wanted
she was the one none of them wanted
which was it
she could no longer
remember
it no longer mattered
you will be famous one day
that face
will be famous
they had been
lying
belly floor down
face to face
music throbbing under them
sweet cannabis drifting over them
people
lovers friends strangers exes futures
stepping
around them
you don't see it, do you?
that face
you have no idea do you?
his eyes in the darkness
glowed
like a possum's
thinking of a possum
she laughed
of course not
they never know, the real ones
they never see it
but I know, I see it, I see
that face
and mark my words
it will be famous one day
she had not known how to mark
words
she was only just learning how to mark
men
and when it is
when that happens
I'll be somewhere saying
I knew her when
but he had died
and that face
her
face
had never been
famous
had never been
wanted
had never been
anything
but
just another
face
