At the Oysterpan Coffee Parking Lot


Do you mark asphalt, sibilant Oil-pan?


It begins in the twin. Wet black skin of seal,

Refracted halo and slick thinness of plate.

The caress down gutter, not quite cruel. The men

At the outdoor tables whittle women from

Mimeticslick

Wormwood. The marks strike sparks

In the Everclear vapors of heat & road,

Sulfurslick

Ephemera factory. The knife breaths into

Coolness. See it? Then it ends. The women

browslick

In shawls. Four trays of weary light above

The yawning bus-your-own table bin.

To keep it here, the car is moving. Away.

This is wrong. Jump up the steep

Coinslick

Aggression of currency. Time & fat. Crucible

Of slick, rainbow curve & asphalt. Engine

Engine of Nowhere song. Cascadent effervescent
