I-20 west .. the very next day

packed some necessary things

made an impulsive call to colorado

let venecia know i'll be on my way

should be there in a couple of days

she kind of seemed happy

to unexpectedly hear from me

yet the slightest of tremors

was detectable in her voice

I mentioned nothing about it

I drove straight there

rarely took a break

a little over a day .. night

alamosa was in my sights

venicia met me in the town square

we'd mostly a light breakfast

drank cappuccino until noon

she dropped the bomb on me

related she's married .. on the run

from her violent .. safe-cracking husband

she'd ran off with his leased suv

been gone for nearly a month

related she'd left new orleans

on the night we'd met

at the wild dance club

you know .. I thought, geez

from the frying pan to the fire

what the fuck is wrong with me

later on during the cool day

we rode out to her home

a really large double wide home

nestled in a foot of powder snow

a mountain range backdrop

finally I met her hot friend vicky

they're roommates .. no less

they related vicky's new guy

would arrive sometime soon

details sketchy .. I discovered

Mario's a mob pilot with a dc-9 jet

flying in from peru with a load of cocaine
