Chrysler

 

shit-box Chrysler

T-Boned on Payne Avenue --

really miss that ride 

 

 

 

itty bitty Honda

 

itty bitty Honda --

scent of patchouli

and store-bought chili

permeate the cab

 

 

pedal

pedal to the metal,
crop news on the radio --
wet corn on the vine

More Walnuts

the crowds all gone home
sleek crows forage
through bits of bright litter -
Dandelions








stinging nettles,
young maples like weeds -
the mystery behind
your manicured lawns









trumpet vines
burst through the tarmac -
bangers on the corner
argue on their iPhones







a horn blows in traffic
the texture of twine -
high summer sun bakes
the brick wall








a dusty-red wren
perched on a pail -
heat shimmer blurring
the hot-tar roof









a musty smell from limestone
bits of broken glass -
the stain from fallen walnuts
stuck to our hands
