Book two of impromptu trilogy.

  Still Life with Idling Engines


It was the way spring smacked me in the face
to gather my attention; then, forced me to look

at the brilliant red bush thriving before
the white, block wall—a newly-leafed birch

rising above in a photographic panegyric,
of sorts—as I waited in the fast food franchise

drive-thru lane.  It appeared so wildly unreal
that I wondered if this was the real life

and not some errant but lovely thought
trapped in the florescent light of a tiled room:

all day the cows have drifted in twos and threes
across a pasture rolling beneath a sky staggered
      with handsomely atheletic clouds.
