::RED ROVER::
This one's called "And the Red Light."
I happen upon an unfamiliar landscape
with an unaccustomed quietness.
My wheels tread heavily in the briny mud,
easing their payload on and on again.
The blank grey sky
touches the maroon-cragged ground.
And the red light
turns green,
and I take the opportunity
to speed the Chevy Tahoe
across Mustang Island
and spirit away to the ferry.
