30

One of my headlights is out.

The road clears its own throat:


The radio once I get to a certain point on 30 is 

Satanic gospel.


But when I come down the mountain the 

Sun is there to shine on a world superstitious of loss.


They bake their fallen leaves.

They reimagine the dead in uniform.

There’s a Gulf station in Art Deco

In need of an army.


There’s a duck no one ever saw before but me;

But everyone sticks up for him.
