A Poem In Progress...(was A Song In Progress...)

O.K. -- the song is out for now. But I'm left with frags and only the briefest of starts for a piece...

Fragment I

She opens the door to open the store
At the end of the street
Looks down the way to the end of the sidewalk

Fragment II
She used to meet the boy with
Green eyes, smiles and charming lies
Years and miles flash

Fragment III
She bought her wedding dress at the DAV
In a hurry, little money, baby on its way
Cigarette stink, fingerprints on lace are
All she remembers of that day
