Photo Poem

To Take the High Road

Parking lots

Pumping out

Paranoia,

Hypnotized

By flashes

Red,

Yellow,

Green.

Metallic messages sprint

Off on all fours.

Yellow and white

Warpaint dashed

Upon that stone cold face,

Direct the drifting thoughts,

From synapse to station,

Over the concrete waves.

Parallel to the rivers,

That savage animal

Runs through my head.

Pumping and pooling,

Circling the drain

Of parking lots.
