James Mirarchi- A Poem


automobile
 
euphoric from concert
whose aural leftovers
rock my insides with guitar tremors
i sit in storm-battered cab
head reclined
nostrils packed with leather seat/tobacco scent
passing through centuries of possibilities
the road home is squiggled with prophetic headlights
a rain-smeared tablet of hieroglyphs
that confers with chanting billboards
as black sky closes down like waffle iron
turning me into breakfast for the gods
i (suddenly slathered in buttery sunrise)
am divinely digested
which sums up my typical post-concert state
