i pointed at his head, said
long hair, denver, 2nd street, old jewish house,
scary basement.
his thick black glasses and big nose were the same.
you're one of stephanie's friends? he's pretty sure.
yep. i say i have to find her i owe her money.
he didn't know about her. she was a rest stop
driving across country that summer.
driving until fatigued sleeping in car because
i'm young and fear everything.
it's better for the car to drive the cool night
better to sleep the cool night too but i couldn't
do both.
from the road america ain't nothin'.
an old barn, big rocks, silver rain horizon, mileage posts
in passing.
from denny's to denny's, atm to atm,
taking pictures of strangers i'm an idiot.
but denver smelled friendly. out to dinner, saw a movie,
got a parking ticket (paid it!).
and still when i needed something went to 7-11.
