Epic Streets

SUV-driving subversionites carry the day
as hyperbolic shadows gather on the horizon.
The blonde peels the label off her beer
and appreciates smoothness while lamenting
her zipper problems.

Moses strolls into the hardware store
to look for matches, realizes he’s seen everything
and contemplates the worst singer in the world
as she scrambles up the platform.

Molly ponders the apocalypse,
also appreciates smoothness,
and responds firmly with a yes.

The human noise
we all make mixes with the gin
and she starts slip-sliding away.
