pulling up tight
rusty VW bumper "riding the ass" of an F150
swerves - horns - fingers n'fury out on the roads
parking lot brawls
hauling lone golf clubs outta the back seat...to get the message across
left over heat
from a near fist fight in the granola bar aisle
cities burning
masks hanging on rearview mirrors
blue glove in the ditch
we are
on edge
That's for sure. Maybe this is the transformation of consciousness we have been waiting for. We live in hope.
ReplyDeleteWe are on edge...and the virus spreads. This poem is a metaphor for our crazy, out of control dystopian times. Life feels like one giant loser parking lot brawl. Your prose captures this well. Thanks, SC

“cities burning

That is such tight, effective writing.
