Riding shotgun, I look out the upper right corner
of the windshield, writing in a black
English car,
and see a dark thing: a dot,
with a wing, twirling and twisting, (convulsing parenthetically),
almost intentionally, as if it knew what it was doing,
only to spin out of control and out of my view and into the bottom right corner
of the black-rimmed box, (the windshield), into places I will never know, and towards people
who will never understand what I mean.
