driving from desire to duty
vision obscured by the distortion
of liquid hope as it again
escapes
softening the crust of dried futility
and the salty taste of tomorrow
on unkissed lips
holding on to life
by nothing stronger than the
surface tension
of a tear

Every word mattered and worked magic. The last four lines made the elephant disappear in front of a live audience.

This gets the wheels turning.....

probably purposefully vague, there are many possible scenarios:

A mistress going to work after sex, Exit 7 is her work exit.

A newlywed girl leaving her husband after their first night as a married couple, again Exit 7 is the work exit.

A couple about to separate/divorce, this was their last night together. Exit 7 is the exit to the woman's new home.

A lesbian couple that cannot stay together for various reasons, one of the women is getting a job in a new state, Exit 7 is the exit for the new job.

Of course, we don't know if the protagonist is DEFINITELY a woman, but since a woman is writing a poem, I'm assuming a woman is suggested here.

Good job, Impressive! (Perhaps I should have made this a poll?)
