lyrics

When the reservoir overflows
Water lands on the hot plate.
I’m still waiting for
the Vyvanse to kick in

The ceiling resonates
with sounds of upstairs neighbors
getting ready for work.
Through the window, a car door, an ignition.

Rainwater rolls downhill
and empties into the storm drain.
An empty DART bus softly idles
in the park-and-ride, warming up her engine.

An eagle lays along
the fog line on the interstate,
a dirty crumbled up umbrella
trembling feathers, frayed tendons.

Little rhinestone pieces
of somebody’s windshield
sparkle in the dawn light.
Dragonflies bang their heads thinking that it’s water.

How unshakable
the stomach of a scavenger.
How pliable the guardrail.
How absurd and precious the morning air feels.
