Counting cars that don’t slow down.

For roads like these to lead me home.

Consent was the key
To cross my iron threshold
My safe place tinged by red red rust”

Even on a recount
The soiled hands of time
Slowly came around to me”

Just the AM radio setting the scene.
I stood on the sofa, waving my hands,
Singing to an imaginary crowd.”
