Will she come for me today?

7. Get up. I start to imagine her arrival.  

8. Breakfast. Maybe she will be silent as blowing the light away from the lit stove after frying my eggs.

9. Run. Will she and be as beautiful as the seashore I saw that one time filled with colorful jagged broken pieces I walked on leaving dark footprints for her to follow me? 

10. Driving. I thought I saw her arrive with a show with spirals and wheels flying through the air while onlookers slowed before the big explosion. But it was just wishful thinking

11. Elevator. Watching the number increase on the black box above the sliding doors, I wonder if she will meet me at the edge of the highest number. 

12. Lunch, She could arrive for lunch with me, Sit across and stop my breath. 

1. Work.  I do not want my "happy" coworkers to meet her, although they may be waiting for her arrival. 

2. Coffee. Plastic spoons, forks, and knives. How boring. Maybe, if there was a short circuit within the coffee machine. 

3. Stairs. Could she come to meet me if I took a wrong step and a bump was to happen?

4. Smoke break. I see my fellows in arms who anxiously wait for her arrival. But I do not feel comfortable following. 

5. Driving. I bed if I try to fly from at this speed she will meet me, right? 

6. Home. When I go to bed Do I  meet her with fire from a candle too close to my bed? 

7.  TV. Look at that clean cut. Maybe she will come with a bang. Sigh. Why does she come for them, but not for me? 

8. Couch. It's been months now. Will she show up soon? 

9. Bed. She didn't come.

Will she come for me tonight?
