Brink

Deer, Red Top Mt. State Park (photo by Dar)

The Brink  

We are on the brink of anarchy 
Says the Asian woman on the car radio
Ten miles north of Red Top Mountain 
As the eighteen wheeler
Swerves in front of us 
As you laugh switching the radio
To a Lou Reed disc 
And Nico 
And the rusted metal deer perk
Up their ears in the park. 

 --Jack 2/'09
