nissan versa

no visible break as i surge onward

only the sudden gusts

that rock my craft side to side

tell me i have crossed the boundary

the windows are open

cool air pours in

when the angle of the wind is just right

runs down the hairs of my legs

billows my shirt like a sail

tactile signals that, oddly,

make me feel disembodied

spiritual sensations,

touching another realm

foul air, like garbage and used motor oil

and humanity's runoff

i tell myself

it smells like barbacoa

although i cannot remember the taste of meat

or those i have tasted and enjoyed me

because i do well forgetting

how bittersweet the newformed spit

from love and suffering in spite of it

the many good souls

what come afore and what come after

or never come at all
