Thirteen miles on 31 are drying
all along adopt-a-highway lay the empty cans of masquerade
Thirteen miles on 31 are drying
the sky is lavender with ivory clouds that threaten drops of finger-paints
puddle jumping children clad in yellow raincoats splash the deeper purple of
veneer
Rows and rows of animals, their shiver skin is painted different shades
and from grazing tainted grass their teeth are stained the incandescent green
indifferent they watch the rainfall steady blend their spots and run their
stripes of veneer
lovely ladies strip themselves of furs the winds require
lovely ladies bathe themselves in technicolor mire
lovely gentlemen
