For the woman looking out the window at Dunkin Donuts
Have you kept all your promises
you made to yourself,
quietly,
with no one around?
Have you dreamed big
past the window pane
hazy?
Have you loved enough
of the faces strolling
past you?
The shirtless man with his cart of cans?
The teenage boy with aviator glass
going nowhere fast?
The woman walking two feet in front of her boyfriend?
There's time yet.
