scenes from an un-called for trip to Tampa

Justin Taylor

I.
some kids can’t wipe their own asses
religious people don’t hang things
��from rearview mirrors
but Jesus is coming so look busy
fragments fall from the dome like the reckoning
��of the rain
refreshed collective nintendo memories
but truly exalted
��by the music of a generation past
II.
a boy beat a llama to death
I hate the television
III.
woke up to blaring electronics
slept on a balled-up sweater
empty bottle on counter
5 bleary people
the big test still to come
truck drivers fear us
we dash in and out
��recklessly headed home
��at 95 miles per hour
