and what of those nameless white headlights
and how could they know her pain
and why would they
and why should they
this is the moment in the film when it rains
with those anonymous pairs
flaring
glaring
past her
as she stands alone
yet resolute
how strangely certain she is
even as tight and self pitying tears
threaten and well and brim
and her lone headlight flickers in the darkness
