Casablanca on AMC
She never saw another state
travel too expensive
too alone
she being a single mother
The fan sweeps in a slow carousel
Smoke blue and heavy lists
She surveys the four walls
staid and familiar
today yet another routine
shower
brush teeth
dress
off to work
home to tv
Life and death decisions parlay
as plane propellers lilt nearby
Tears gorge the heroine’s eyes
Like a Bible story
goodness prevails over evil
Ah
She applies for her passport
wonders what Casablanca looks like
in the spring
