though it only looks to the world
like an intersection
on a busy Saturday night street
any move will send out ripples
of signal and consequence--
I sat too long at the bar and thought--
bad combination--too many shots
and too much thinking--and poleaxed
at the similarity of hangover and Buddhist
'blank mind'--next I'll have the grotesques
come up and ask me for directions--I should
light flares and surround myself--broken down but
empowered on the shoulder of a speeding highway
