 Breathe! 
In empty awareness
   Of silk striped cement highways
    Of oil cans and bent rims
      Tired worn out tired
 Piled to the signs
    By the fences with green plastic
     Chain link days 
        With candy wrappers 
     And empty Dr. Pepper plastic bottles
 We stole checks from mailboxes
    And bought what would take us away
   In an abandoned rock store 
     We sat and talked
     Of Covid and what there was to eat
    The night was cold and we slept in an old car 
Named Tomorrow
