i.
HISTORIC signage
on a caving grain silo
hides bottles, bent knees
makes five conjoined high-schoolers
feel like half-price fireworks
ii.
once a stargazer
promised to take you somewhere
a mute chrome diner
empty as a register
your replacement spaceship waits
iii.
webs of windshield frost
dwindle like college students
while endemic flocks
wait on the intervention
of six-lane highways, pay day
