Vertigo Two

On Friday night
they went into Yorkville,
ran the red light and
never came back.

In the Twilight Zone
they sat at the bar;
gazed into each other's eyes.
and saw stars.

Their secret desires
fell from their tongues
weaved through the air
into their ears
and down through their hearts.

Everything was fine
until the morning
when the fear
replaced the tears.

Now they each sit at home,
alone
Masturbating.
