traffic snake slithers
copters hawking from above
our cars compacting
***
institutional leather
I’m waiting on a brown couch
comfort doesn’t last

warped fence boards in sand
lean askew toward green windbreak –
old gnarled cypress
***
lines, no white shirts but
birds black in a row clothes-pinned
to the telephone wires
