laundromat

at the laundromat nothing moves fast
cycles end, begin

the short one, tells the fat one, about her boyfriend
while clothes roll in an industrial machine
hypnotizing me

the short one stabbed her boyfriend
who died without a scream

not much more than soap and quarters
fodder and gossip for those tossing pennies against the wall
