the inebriate

just before Old Sammy’s Bridge

a judge
pulled over on the side of the road
swims
in the light of state-trooper red and blues

down by the lake
a few clicks away
a night bird calling
for all the broken spirits to gather round

a question answers a question

what’s the story
sir

do you know who i am
