stiffed (written 4/27/08)
stiffed
searching for continuity
a haze of could-be customers
swirl in beer soaked air
driving precisely knowing the way
away from self regulation
through clouds of hormones steady
under the path of transmission lines
easily managed or gamed
the meter blinks predictably
break lights and pink neon
reflect in the bouncers squinted eyes
the door shuts out disorder
tipless calculability holds no store for you
driving seeking escaping
the streets are seeped with propaganda
questions sprout between the yellow lines
