Screen Dump 560

The off-road drive-through

the pomp and circumstantial evidence

all mitigated by the thrum

of seeing it disappear . . .

The protocol for riding the rails

reviewed and submitted

for publication

seeks refuge in footnotes . . .

It was the least you could do . . .

A frozen shoulder barks

and is placed on the stand

sworn in by the vicissitudenous

and released on its own recognizance . . .

You try to imagine more

realizing perhaps too late that there's nothing

like putting off a journey

until some convenient interruption

falls off the edge

and walkways lined by tall spruces

install what-have-yous

in the middle of it all

making progress arduous . . .
