Observations on 9/11/08 on 285

Truck amputee abandoned on the side of the highway.

Comic strip clouds of Colorado
& the dusk smudge of distant mountains.

Lonely cows surrounded by their species -
gathered in such huddles…
what a malodorous example of community tolerance:
everyone's breath and asses
on the same horizontal plane.

It’s filled with imitation cop cars –
siren shaped roof racks
keep me from speeding.

Fog fills the canyon like a split dam.

Shape of a shadow valley is beauty leaking.

Even when valley is vast and empty,
it peels the paper back
on the crayon color of my smile.
