It’s curtailed, truncated, stopped, this body<br />
of two bodies locked in a promise, trapped<br />
behind glass, a laundromat or a gas<br />
station, these bodies one body that pulls<br />
a sawed-off shotgun from the trunk or blocks<br />
the door with a truck <strong>and</strong> goes around back.<br />
Loads tumbling, hotdogs turning on a spit,<br />
glass rattling. One town over, kids cruise.<br />
Two blocks away a man drops a bottle<br />
grabbing his woman’s hair as she throws up.<br />
A bird shits on a car.<br />
Real Adventure<br />
