It felt as
though I was reliving the 
chord
changes of Lou Reed’s Sweet Jane 
Chalk
it up to nerves & a feeling for 
            dark
corners where there aren’t any 
I’m assuming it
was systemic
as
it lead to all kinds of fancy slide-step action
            while
wearing a lucha libre mask 
&
4 bald tires & a leaky fuel pump later 
            it
occurred to me that I may have only been 
                        experiencing
a flashback
The hot wind from
inland was dry & scented w/ozone
like an old
library copy of Pliny
