Knee Deep

I'm sitting in traffic on the 215
Poetry is sitting in the bucket seat
next to me with her cell phone pressed to her ear.
She is so beautiful, and I can't help but notice
the way the sun bleeds from her smooth
red lips.
We sit in a row, alone, a sentence
that keeps shifting around.
She doesn't notice I am staring at her. Wading
shallow waters.  The breath before a plunge,
and when you do, you break your neck on the
flat stones at the bottom.
Another poetry excercise.

Nice Poem, its funny! I really like the imagery, just like in every piece you do. Your good at it. I like the last line.
"The breath before a plunge,

I'm not sure exactly what it means, but its true. lol. Its like the last breathe before you die, or the gasp before the stab. I like it. Keep up the good work!
