Road Construction

You who hold

            the right to stop

            or go

            my life

                        smooth sun-oiled pecs

                        penciled abs

(ruffles have ridges)

Will you call my         

            peonies ponies?

            hmmm?  Will you

            bare my children

            weave my garden

            make love

to the underbelly of my car?

The drivers follow you

like ducklings after

their mama

They waddle

            long thin line

waiting for a chance to

show your improbably pecs

marbled abs

tuna can ass how

they will navigate your

            long thin line

            your roofless triad

            ride up

            the road to

my ponies, my

naked dervish

children, my

broke down

rusted out ‘85

            Cadillac ElDorado.
