Mannequin Dreams
Dressed Up
as heads would be hard
so the grains would be softened
by mere dressing up
Dressing Dolls
taking a hard stance
adorned by the best of skills
dressing up the dolls
Confidence
he had polished skills
dressed up in the finest threads
nothing would stop him

Struggle
Entering her zip code, Elaine focused on the task at hand, knowing it was the most important job for which she would apply.
Counting the change in the bottom of her purse, Barbara placed the coins in stacks, realizing she had just enough for a round trip bus fare to the interview.
Entering the code in the key pad of her office, Jasmine knew she would have some heavy decision making to make about who she would hire for her personal assistant.
Calling the doctor’s office, Elaine entered the code which ensured it authenticated her, only to hear the answer she needed to know, the news, if bad, would be a nurse and the phone redirected to the nursing department.
Barbara walked into Jasmine’s office, ready as she could be for the job interview, she had a job, but she needed to supplement her income, due to the high bills from her husband’s medical treatments; Keeping him always in the back of her mind, after the funeral, she knew he would be there in spirit.
Elaine hung up the phone, went to her computer, emailed to Jasmine’s office, confirming her appointment, she needed this job more than ever, but she also knew it would offer her no promises in her life.

The cabby looked in Harvey’s eyes, seeing how watery and glazed they were, like a shocked, sad old dog; Shifting the gears of the machine, the driver took off to the destination of Harvey’s home and engaged in a long conversation about the woes of the city and kept Harvey connected the whole way.
They arrived at Harvey’s home and the driver hopped out of the cab and helped Harvey with his box, walking him to the door, reaching for his wallet, Harvey asked the driver how much he owed to which the driver said “No fare today, my meter isn’t working, have a nice rest of your day, buddy,” and he took off.

PROMPT WORD: FARE
Frozen
Allured
allured by the warmth
beckoning seas called his name
left alone he died

wonder made him go
left alone he perished fast
nothing made him leave
Leaving
cast away by self
leaving had it’s own appeal
now he has no home
