Every Day

Every day I pass her

on my way to work and

she calls to me: her voice

cool and deep, she tempts me

(Lord, she tempts me!)

a little more each day.

I got nothin’ and nobody

but if I call her bluff

that ol’ river gonna make

me late for work.

 

Damn late.

    As I read I wondered who ‘she’ would be. A river, that works.
