Sunset in a Parking Lot

 

There was a line of people waiting to get into Best Buy

for the best deal, some since 7 a.m. and the sun was setting

beautifully in the West,

they didn't even see it as they were crouched facing

east, heads down to check smart phones and watch

time passing by,

maybe checking the stock on the TV they were looking for,

or sending a text to the spousal unit at home to tell

them what number they were in line and to please

bring food and a warm drink, it's getting cold

waiting for this TV.

The pink rolled across the top of one cloud,

illuminating the bottom of the next, rolling

west, leaving behind a grey/blue horizon to

the east,

so lovely, such a shame to miss it.
