Driving in the winter
dead

"Mississippi Bridge"

Chuck Berry illuminates
everything,

a stop sign coasts
along the way . . .

Another Friday afternoon
with Richard.

He wants the many
groups to assimilate.

“That is America's strength.”

(He may be right,
so what?)

Boggie woogie turns on
the radio,

I turn off & go left
towards home.
