Red Car in the Future
exists in the past
collision persistence
of catapulted dream
flailings & trick
convictions all ladeled
out & blaming roughed-up
hearts for holding
remaining shapes grimy
& hurled into space
& trapped in a landscape
hidden beside a repulsive
tree ecstatic in its stoic
waiting for a garment
filled with a girl
yellow as blood
to gather these fragments
& start this sunlight again
w/ the turn of a key.
