WHAT’S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN, COURTNEY?

She slides out of a launderette

No, wait. She struts out of a café

Check that. She stumbles out of a bus

Or not. She steps out of a bank

Too dull. She stirs out of a dream

That sucks. She slips out of a clinic

The washer is old; the smoke is thick

the transit is slow; the credit is wrecked

the fear is real; the doctor is sick

Her clothes are stained; her coffee is cold

her transfer is lost; her money is low

her mind is made up; her pills do not work
