Washington Blvd.


years of my life viewing Washington Blvd. from a car-

a sweaty bear upon the bathroom that I drew

murals upon uninvasive species propogated for nothing

never any knowledge of the teenagers, the single mothers, the former linemen

inhaling antivenom, never a neon blue flicker through tinted windows

til 5:24 am

I peak out from behind my curtains, stalking the light with fear like a cat

I am driving myself to nude, fetal naps

she hides me from the news.
