Fall '06 TOC
walk through chill underpass tunnel with red salmon and bubbles – a mural – a glowing tarnished undersea
across the street a painted flock of seagulls tangled in real time vine –
after flash of sunshine there you are CESAR CHAVEZ MEMORIAL PARK
the sign a new flat brown – yellow letters like a W. P. A. national park
savannah grass so still at the corners dust, clots of weeds, burned granite blocks scored with barbed wire a boulder seat that faces a kudzu fence
but meditate on this rock, back to the street
you might get shot
