[wonders]
she is a location
policed
by a trauma
that never
returns.
that’s a mouthful
on a first
date
but she is far
from photographing
roadkill.
still, she hears
it said
in sister
and in health…
/ she starts with a boy
who becomes a clown
getting
his pilot’s
license
on borrowed
time. what she knows
by number
is the single
highway
truck
that doesn’t
come.
her father is just
as she imagines-
a man
not making
siren
sounds
pulled over
by the man
who is.
she fucks
with her troubled
flashlight.
