Text version below
Jonas' Car, Seattle (abridged)
Giant concrete altar
of an
overpass
sprawls the city
just to deliver me to you.
Like sprawling nightmare, urban romance
all the brick pillars,
retro-fitted piers,
stretching out like strong arms.
Ever expressive
Expressway
Love, like lifelines
Love, like pulses
bouncing over tops of skyscrapers
I followed with finger
pressed against the window.
