Ocean breeze strumming the 
fencewire 
              & I’m leaning into another hairpin turn
whereas you might blink like Eternity
              flush w/exit signs & riptide warnings
                              (what I told you anyway

                                                alternate route
                              disguised as a seaweed highway
                              subject to candlelit monsoon raptures
                                                & slow Spanish mudslides
