TIME EXPIRED
she manages her heart like the parking downtown.
no one can stay for very long.
and if you're lucky enough to find a spot,
you can preventatively calculate when your visit will end.
with a twist of the accurate swiss diving watch bezel,
you know how much air you have left and not to go too deep.
when you run out of nice nickels, drama dimes, and compliment quarters,
it won't be long till your time is up.
and don't you mess around with the meter maid.
she finds your sob story pathetic and it's pointless anyway.
you get a ticket that costs you an upscale dinner for two.
no, i've learned that a swift and timely exit is the best survival strategy.
don't get suckered into long-term parking either.
as soon as her plane is in you get bounced for richard roe.
don't be fooled when she makes an exception on certain holidays.
business will be back to normal in the morning so you best not spend the night.
but don't stress out too much.
someday you will have a permanent spot in a safe place.
she might even take your name and put it in writing and post a sign for all to see.
and you won't have to worry about your heart getting so scratched and dented anymore.
