Transient

Our words are fleeting,
 as we are the receding tides of
   polite and strange,
       strung along on high hopes
               of better futures,
       still lingering on the horizon
but how much longer will it take
  for your mind to make a shadow of my memory?
      my place with you is transient
I leave you untainted and
        able to wash your hands clean
 I'm still hung like your laundry
          on dirty back alley lines
