not even...

you have no face
you hold no place
who do you think you are
nothing but
barely there
just another
vagina
in the parking lot.

I met a man from Scotland
Scottie was his name
I'd never seen him before
We'd neither a claim to fame
I sat right down and spoke a while
considering his age I'm but a child
We met as strangers
We parted as friends
Had I not spoke
He'd have taken no note
We only exist
in our minds
and where we spend
a little time
Don't stand alone in the parking lot
while the world passes you by
and thinks of you "NOT"
Extend a hand
Your light shines through
And suddenly becomes "YOU"

i like how you wrote this. i like how it reads.
i can interpret it two ways though.. it's easy to become faceless in a parking lot.

usually the only thing i'm worried about in a parking lot is getting from point a to b without running over anybody, having a car back out as i slowly drive by, etc.
and likewise, when i'm walking,
i don't want some ditwit running over me .. :)

Larry, that is beautiful. Truly.
Thank you.
It was written as my interpretation of how some men view women.
No worries, my friend. I have a much healthier opinion of myself.

thanks, Foam... parking lots are sucky places in lots of ways. Sometimes they feel like demolition derbies (derbys ?).

Sad but, for m any men, true.

Jean said...

JCN, even sadder when a woman accepts that image for herself.

I think that kdzu is right, my dear.
Better to have your friends draw near.
And a higher thought of your self and soul...
Look. See the light over the next knoll?
It shines for you, it's bright and nice.
A big ol' piece of life, please, have a slice.

Never let some cunt take your parking spot!

Jean said...

Berry...I'm ok.

Mark, indeed!

hmmm...ya know, on some second thought, this poem applies pretty well to the vehicle repair place I was at yesterday. Damn.

Other than the vagina thing, I think I know the sentiment. Then again, without something greater Who loves us, aren't we all, at some point, just another...fill in the blank...?

Well, Him and a few others. Though how to show we love without giving more than we have or through not having anything to give at all? *Hugs* That's all I have... But I mean it, darn it.
