POEM

Freeway exit to another world
The metal green slate atop
looms, gleams with reflective white type
Headlight beams focused, curving over
brick then foliage silhouette on sandy eve sky hanging
Curving
Curving past royal cuisine, broken paths, left to you
Black street cruise against fifty-five frames of mature
city structures, garages, booming cubic homes adjacent…
