turn left at the light / palm readers get a military discount at the cockroach hotel my dad

stays at / another sunday cockfighting at the blackstone auto body shop / easier to find

auto parts here than a functioning two-wheel drive / a teenager sells week-old roses in

the el pollo loco parking lot / he is far from home, from a bowl of real menudo / on

ashland you’ll see the new seafood fusion, a yemenite buffet, a temp agency, a tire shop

and that ethiopian place we used to go to / i can’t believe the nickel arcade is still open

and the store that only sells sewing machines / since i’ve left, they approved zoning for a

cannabis dispensary on gettysburg / a Nigerian strip mall church called mountain of fire

/ at indianapolis before the wienerschnitzel-pawn shop intersection, make a left, go

three blocks then right/now you can buy dog cbd treats next to the neighborhood fire

station / parallel to the reservoir where my grandmother always kept birdseed in the

trunk of the car / now another left, slowly now, beware of the massive bump the city

erected to help, i think, with drainage though it hardly ever rains, except last spring.
