"The Road to Bruckner Blvd."
The birch tree shivers and cramps. The strong-arm snow seduces our narcolepsy. The gravel and salt discipline the dozens and dozens. The traffic jitters as I spend the day invoking. The green duck Saab is a fist. The unruly yellow line claims the Ritalin. The next exit is Tremont. The tree lot before the bridge. The bombastic stop signs about-face. The tires spin a smoker’s cough. The high volume of wait time. The sky meets the el train. The number 6. The vivacious backdoor pumps blue-light white. The Jesus-loves-me people offer potatoes and coffee. The vegetable lullaby. The alibis sip Bustelo. The street shudders.
