"it's 5:00," she said
As the rain spattered on the windshield
as the tears pooled in my eyes
"it's five o'clock," she said
As the lady coughed and 
     lit another cigarette
She told me about her youth
"I used to be as thin as you,"
she said, "It's 5:00."
"I would never wear 
a shirt that tight...
 but, I used to be as thin as you.

"Well, until I grew."

"It's 5:00," she said
As the tears ran down
my cheeks and onto my lips
I didn't used to be this thin...
well, until I grew.
