She backed the car
into a chrome daydream
and proceeded to make
up her face in the
rearview mirror as
the radio told her of
an electric disaster
in the town of her birth
and that driving there
would now be out of the
question and she would
have to learn to fly
in her dreams and
visit surreptitiously in
the hours before dawn
if she ever wanted
to see that town
alive
again.
