David J. Thompson

I find myself driving around
western Kansas, pausing to pee
and eat gas station burritos
in little towns with big names
like Ulysses and Syracuse.

I pull off the highway to take
a photo of a small roadside cross
that marks a car wreck death.
My lens zooms in and out
on a world so flat and spacious
that it almost makes me believe
it can go on forever.
