Edge of Rotation
<p>Such<br />
a classic<br />
spin<br />
that old<br />
blue Oldsmobile<br />
rounding the curve<br />
rotating back<br />
down the same road<br />
again and before<br />
beaming with<br />
invisible<br />
familiarity<br />
leaving<br />
oil stains<br />
down<br />
boulevards<br />
sewn with<br />
uneven<br />
seams</p>
<p>Five days<br />
a week<br />
over and over<br />
I watched him<br />
go to work<br />
and return<br />
the same<br />
blinding spin<br />
I was a kid<br />
but I had<br />
so many<br />
questions<br />
maybe<br />
too much<br />
for our frozen<br />
civilized<br />
echoed<br />
tones</p>
<p>Next thing<br />
the old<br />
picture frames<br />
started rusting<br />
from years<br />
of being buried<br />
in shame<br />
and in the<br />
morning light<br />
I saw his<br />
faded image<br />
bleeding colors<br />
finally blurring<br />
years of<br />
well polished<br />
eyes</p>
