Jay Passer, 3/11

STAR IN THE WAY

I was onto something
then I got distracted
by the date or the woman
there was a car involved
it sped out of control
or was it my own self
onto performance anew
I can’t recall try as I might
to fix the whole problem
swear it was sweet like fig from the tree
look up to the sky star in the way
there was a car involved

headlights night swerving clang

and the morning new to jail
allowed to keep spectacles
the rest requisitioned as if anything was left
