Tight

John Grey

Nothing worse than
the field that’s suddenly a parking lot
and an attendant trying to make sense
of so many cars, so little space;

squeeze in there, come forward a little,
an inch to the right, back, stop, no,
forward another smidgen, hold it
wait more to the left, that’s enough,
no more, straighten out, go right, up a
little, don’t run over my foot, that’s it
stay, stay, stay;

if I can only lose enough weight in
the next thirty seconds, I can manipulate
my body through the crack in the car
the door makes before grazing the SUV
parked next to me, and pay this kid
ten bucks for the privilege:

I take orders.
I realize it’s not all about my comfort.
Thousands of people are here to see the show.
And there has to be room for all of us.
So we’re all packed like rats
in the makeshift stadium.
And the group play tight.
But what other choice do they have?
