2729

by Terry Olynik

2729.
That was the code
To get buzzed in
To her apartment.

Humid
Stifling nights.
Frigid
Breath-searing days.

Carrying
Chinese food
And
Fresh cut flowers.

2729.
It might still be
The code
Of the current tenant.

Congrats on POTD Terry! For those who don't know Terry, he was a long time member of Pathetic.org., and sadly passed away a few years ago from Cancer.
