blue jasmine

it was not unlike a streetcar
named desire,
how it all went
down.
holding her up to the light
as she
lost her mind,
and the men
in white
coming to take her away.
a few bags packed for
the trip in the hallway.
the remains
of her meager life.
i was her Mitch for a while,
and then
Stanley at the end.
she did not go gently
into that good night.
