in the relentless heat........In the
depths of the garage entered a minute earlier................... my car was hoisted slowly upwards leaves turned yellow ......................exposing its rusted underbelly rain................................ while I stared queasily cold water......................at the MacDonalds across the street as if our daily suppers depend on it..... whose doors a fellow victim of mechanical failure blood stains....................had entered a minute earlier. brown grass on the hills............. clack clickety clack clack clack............. a glass of beer................. sleep............................ background noise............ low flying planes............. never allowed to enter........ the smell of green grass.......... a tenuous relationship to reality...... warm sun......................... a red front door................ cold cereal........................ working............................ and seep in your soul.................... a white shirt....................... making love...................... the children laughing.......... blue jeans......................... potato soup...................... the unbidden flood............... extensive passages of discordant voices....... footprints.......................... unwashed windows........... a dark corner.................... the pine trees overhead...... walking............................. riding................................ the horizon........................ |
