- for david applegate
between the myth of the saber tooth tiger
and the book of Heavenly Highway Hymns
between the primal flight from danger
and the modern flock to hope
is a sheet thrown over a windshield
someone's neighbor steaming on a pavement
for the story has not changed
nor the singers not a bit
just the tunes and how we blow
the wind's still beating on us to go
those sirens say they sing no song
just the flash of teeth insisting we stay
