Long Term Parking

Maybe I got tunnel vision.

Telescopic x-ray vision is preferable but
I always ask for the impossible
in order to never be disappointed.

Just another shadow
staggering among the palm trees

but inchoate & distracted

a terrific indulgence one could say was
an aesthetic

& what are these palm trees but
extravagant weeds
jacked up on sunlight & smog

waiting for the index of inevitables to
run out their string

just like me
