the tow truck

it's three a.m.
when the man with his flashlight
walks through
the lot,
examining tags
and stickers.
pointing at the next car for
the tow truck
to take away.
it's work.
they are quiet, 
almost gentle with their
muscled arms
and tools.
you watch through the blinds,
the hook,
the tug
and pull of the parked car
that rolls onto the flat bed
and away it goes.
drama comes at dawn
but for now, 
the owners doze.
