Yes It is I the Notorious Break Down Queen Been to every big city and every hick town in between Broken down more times than a little bit All I do is hurry up and wait but most of time is just sit Waiting in the shop to get my truck repair Must have open Pandora's Box. does anyone care? clutch rod bent, steering rack and pinion went to crap stuck in a truck that's a rolling death trap Finally I get rolling thinking this must be a curse I'm under Good God what that sound? My engine sounds like thunder The Truck God's are against me I just know it I'm so mad right now I could just spit Injectors one through five and the turbo just blew oil and fuel all over the hood and wind shield resembling something like glue four days in the shop in San Larenzo California 3600 dollars later repair guy say "hers a nice little bill for ya" Not long after the breaks got hot and the air chambers took a dump must have had happened when I ignored that **** speed bump now what all the indicator light just came on and my oil is low maybe I should set fire to it and watch it burn slow this is perfect I'm just in the nick of time get into Gallup N.M hit the nearest bar and order a corona with a lime My truck is fixed and I'm ready to roll I just pray when I back out I don't hit a poll In Arkansas In a town of population 12 and one **** dog Hung up on the rail road tracks due to the heavy fog Two cranes later they send me on my way a rock hit my wind shield I guess in Chicago I'll stay Sick and tired of the hotels motels and shops trailer lights are out get escorted by the Indianapolis city cops Broke down again and not a penny to my name have a water leak which I cannot tame Held captive against my will in Atlanta for I am pleading only for them to tell me i have a low voltage reading will it ever come to an end I will never freaking know almost in Minersville, PA plowed in by 9 inches of snow A mixture of all the minor and major stuff This makes my job that more tough the little fixes and the big repairs in between Now you know how I got my name the Notorious Breakdown Queen.

In the mythology we will one day weave of our lives, every night is either fable or cautionary tale We trade stories of war across tables separated only by black coffee and the depth of understanding, In a Waffle House in Florence, or in Clifton, or off the last exit we can bear to see because we can no longer take the motion and need a moment to rest, to breathe, We talk, as if we are each others children, starry eyed and open mouthed to let all the possibilities sit on our tongues, wait, and then dissolve into dreams, We all have different definitions of what it means to fight, but we appreciate others scars once they are made visible, Like the night they took Jake to the psych ward, his heart a scientist burning  hypotheses in the street while Jess wiped tears and ashes from her face and resolved to battle this thing to the death, Or the early morning we drove Sierra to Indianapolis, and we turned the radio in the old jeep up as loud as the one blown speaker would allow and tried to sing our way out from under the burden we carried to that dying city, Or the night Jennifer's brother put a dent in my car and I drove my fist into a wall, again and again, trying to beat an answer out of it for why the summer had gone and left us ghosts in the dawn, I am as of yet unsure what this tapestry will look like when it is completed, I promise a great deal, but I wouldn't dare bet on destiny All I can be sure of, is that at the end of any highway, There is a Waffle House, And there will always be those, With poet souls and hungry mouths waiting, To turn something ordinary in to legend

Indianapolis bleats and blares and protests too much that the Hoosier state is an idyllic business paradise with low taxes, low costs, low unemployment, low everything. Indiana’s the Walmart of… wait, don’t fret about those woefully low wages, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce reassures struggling, undernourished souls. The low cost of living means that scant pittance isn’t really as bad as it seems. Yet, all the blather and palaver and ideological would-you-rather somehow fails to stem the ongoing, bleeding, gushing exodus of the college educated out of state to scattered scintillating cities. Propaganda engines like the Indiana Economic Development Corporation trumpet all these purported jobs at some factory or warehouse or call center, yet years later, a TV reporter stands in an empty field that never got developed.

Potempkin State
I rode my bike, fat, bloated 4-inch Tires un-skating across Frosted ground. A degree below (You know what) Not ice, or icy, Exactly, but... As if some mythical Dude named...John? Jorje? (Hore-hay) Ok, Jack, then - breathed Almost-frozen breadth Over much of Downtown Indianapolis. The sun was diffuse, low Easterly, barely a lighted Presence, as I pedaled through The little pathway that perimeters the Zoo, the muffled cries of The furry and wrinkly- Skinned high above And safely ensconced Past huge limestone walls. Shutter-flash Dapples of light struck my Eyes as I passed leaves who Stubbornly refused to relinquish Their stemmed hold onto Mother and Father tree. Past the little zooey pathway, The big bridge leading to the Downtown canal, ordinarily Crowded, but only I crowded This time and place and space. Where the sun wanted to shine, But was stubbornly blocked by Such insubstantial things as Bridge abutments and pillars; Shadows outlined the muted Rays of a bleak post-Christmas Sun, contrasting Outlining them in a Frosty embrace. All around that little ****** Of ground, the light of day Melted and softened Jack's Iron-like grip. But not That little piece of ground. Nope. I stopped the bike and looked At the squarish rectangle of Frost that stubbornly refused to Give up its hold from the Relentless, though much less Powerful sun. The clockwork Universe ticks and tocks, And moves and shakes, and This morning, snug in my many Layers, I got to ride my bike On top of a battle I'd never witnessed before Today.

I. Midas i like to look at your picture because it reminds me that you are just a man your hands have handed me horseradish and hard liquor and you’re about as chatty as the women on the view but it's great because i'm totally into this view and ohio was gray until out of the blue, you touched me and i turned to gold --- II. Indianapolis i want to rage so hard in this life i want to be so exhausted from living that i don’t even have the urge to fight back on my death bed and i’ll be too worn out to walk into heaven that the angels will have to carry me in only to have peter push me through the drop door and i’ll plummet straight into purgatory which i’m convinced is the state of indiana where there’s inexplicable construction funded by taxes from the four people who live there inconveniencing all the rest of us who are just passing through peeing in your roadside wallpapered bathrooms and marveling at your cows of many colors the loudest noise in indiana is probably me screaming it’s like each telephone pole took two days off my life but i lived it.  if driving through indiana meant giving life a chance, fine.  i found a vegan restaurant in indianapolis and i got lost in indianapolis and i hated the fact that i got overwhelmed in indianapolis but god put it there.  so while the angels escort me towards the drop door, my legs will be too sore from LIVING my LIFE and i can turn around and look at peter and say have fun standing in the same place on your stupid pink cloud and before i know it i’ll land with a thud in a truck stop on I-70W surrounded by billboards advertising breakfasts and best westerns

Hold fast old junk, the goings good for a while. As on the groaning deck the stamps and calls, Won't mar the sun on sail and board. Clenching hard to the deck, I fall asleep on my face As, though sodden and sand bitten, I'm warm. But sleep, even hard won, is never easy on a ship As whispers from the blackest heart Of the liquid beneath creep through my nose And soak my brain in the salt of everything hidden below. Cut on hard, old junk. The goings good for a while. And though my eyes are closed mad dancers stir In dreams that are wrought deep down and hammered ungodly by the pressure of depth. Once balmy oceans boil and froth, Until they simmer the flesh, my countenance away Til' just bare bones are left alone and i'm left alone to pay. In dreams of the rotten slave with stones in his shoes, In dreams of the leviathan's grave, ragged with hagfish In dreams of the nymph with her perfect **** and parted lips. Who looks me dead in the eye. Fish tailed, a filthy promise of a lie. Theres the skeletons of the Indianapolis, Atlantis as a garden of my bones that no one knows. Jerking back awake, the stars have hit the sky. The sea, now a black mirror, rolls slowly on, As impenetrable as it ever was. We see these things then let the sun Burn them away and cut on. And we remember what pressure does to the fish That live in the deepest parts of the sea. How they're disfigured. But no matter how far submerged the demented whips will crack again. Unforgotten, insatiable, so deep down in the dark.

At the bottom of the sea.
Hold fast old junk, the goings good for a while. As on the groaning deck the stamps and calls, Won't mar the sun on sail and board. Clenching hard to the deck, I fall asleep on my face As, though sodden and sand bitten, I'm warm. But sleep, even hard won, is never easy on a ship As whispers from the blackest heart Of the liquid beneath creep through my nose And soak my brain in the salt of everything hidden below. Cut on hard, old junk. The goings good for a while. And though my eyes are closed mad dancers stir In dreams that are wrought deep down and hammered ungodly by the pressure of depth. Once balmy oceans boil and froth, Until they simmer the flesh, my countenance away Til' just bare bones are left alone and i'm left alone to pay. In dreams of the rotten slave with stones in his shoes, In dreams of the leviathan's grave, ragged with hagfish In dreams of the nymph with her perfect **** and parted lips. Who looks me dead in the eye. Fish tailed, a filthy promise of a lie. Theres the skeletons of the Indianapolis, Atlantis as a garden of my bones that no one knows. Jerking back awake, the stars have hit the sky. The sea, now a black mirror, rolls slowly on, As impenetrable as it ever was. We see these things then let the sun Burn them away and cut on. And we remember what pressure does to the fish That live in the deepest parts of the sea. How they're disfigured. But no matter how far submerged the demented whips will crack again. Unforgotten, insatiable, so deep down in the dark.

winters in indianapolis with you the places and the strange feelings they give off, the music plays in the streets as the snow falls. the mattress is on the floor, it’s cold. you take up most of the blanket. skipping class to sleep in your bed, warm showers skin soft and fleshy ignited a text read at 2:30 a.m. i miss getting ****** on the regular. now all i have is pbr and silence at parties autumns in Bloomington without you. hugging the blanket after you leave. it’s a hazy Sunday morning looking at an empty seat across from me on the bus how dark your eyes are in the moonlight a void expanding it felt like we were on the edge of a nuclear war as the smoke from outside the brick house covered your face. i don’t know how to tell you. as if it really means much. you always have to leave in the morning no matter how much we both want you to stay. but there’s an urgency, the world might end for us tomorrow and you won’t know. the next week i am laying on decker’s cold apartment floor, missing winters in Indianapolis with you. forgetting how all of our favorite coffee shops closed down, and the icy streets that never seemed to melt. the sun will rise tomorrow and it will sit in the back of my head. dark eyes long hair and the box of hamms you lugged up to nick’s apartment. the old couch you slept on. our drunken laughs. how I wouldn’t tell you because I wanted to do it sober. the way you say goodbye in the morning. you might be it. you might be.

The atmosphere was troubled at the end of that July. The sounds of distant thunder rolled as lightening streaked the sky. Though the weather had been warm, the woman felt a chill. She prayed for her sailor son to live, if it be God’s will. Her Homer was a specialist. He wore the Navy blue. His ship was the Indianapolis. That was all she knew. He never wrote about his work or told his port of call. Loose lips sink ships so secrecy was sacred to them all. Her animals seemed unsettled; something spooked them on that day. As twilight fast descended the outside world turned grey. Then came a flash of lightening and she saw it plain as day. The face of her son Homer, then, just as quick, he slipped away. Her heart was sorely troubled by the vision she had seen. She sensed he was in danger, he’s’ just a boy, Lord, just nineteen. She stared at the spot in silent shock. She seemed to lack all will. Her heart was beating rapidly though all the house was still. For weeks she had heard nothing; no letters of reply. Civilians were told little; it was brave boys who fought and died. It wasn’t until the doorbell rang that she knew the worst was true She numbly read the telegram “We regret to inform you…
