lot Dog 6

Vicious Sid on the job
crisp evening sun he crows
pushes those cars out
exhausted full of reckless joy

lot dogs 4

socks soaked rain / again again the damn rain

cold wet greybeard [Ey] under a moon hiding sky

spitting relentless but not erasing

that rainbow: perfect suspender bands across the sky just at sunset and Ey

there are compensations for wet socks

lot dogs 3

you’re being unreasonable she pined
the back seat window rolled not half way down as if

I had power over the rain her hair
her make up those painted-on eyebrows
meant to give accent

to an accentless face and me /greybeard/
socks soaked to the bone between her

and a good hair day
