sunday afternoon dumpster drivers


tissues on the dashboard
dried out sinew at the wheel
there are skeletal frames hiding
beneath layers
of cellulite and fat
there’s the calloused viscera
the absence of a glandular problem

and wire frames are bent or broken
prescription’s still the same
too old to change anyway

carpeltunnle and spiderveins
guardian angel on your visor
you know who you are
bible in the glovebox

getting fast food
for an after-church lunch
