Didn’t take long,
for another, to take our spot
in the riverside parking lot
Didn’t need a sign,
we dutifully paid our dues
to one another, and the parking meter
Didn’t need too long,
parking was paid for,
and we expired not much later
Didn’t need a sign,
we’d need to move on
leave the space, to another
Didn’t take long at all,
for a Tesla to take our spot –
electrifying the area
Didn’t need much,
to fill the void
where your Civid then stood
Didn’t need more,
of your austere love
to know my worth
Didn’t need much,
to tell me (y)our love dried up
like I didn’t know already
