In Between Places

***

Sitting inside a mobile container
Somewhere in the netherworld
Between work and home
A tri-colored light determining
My rate of progress
As rain coats my window
On a dreary world

Another container pulls alongside
A blurry face turns sadly
In my direction, unseeing
We are lost in the desert of our hearts
In the wandering of our minds
Unable to connect
In these in between places
