shadows surrounded
by bitter black
heat

plodding atop
night-lit blacktop


chilly stars stare
,writhing with loneliness,

playing nighttime solitaire:

no winner
no loser


frogs chirping from boredom
crickets sighing from life
geese-wings flapping from
midnite marauders

and cars
driving

driving

driving down
that
hollow road
destined for nowhere

no

Nowhere

like NNNnnnight:
s/he going Nowhere

until sunbreak



Day is even worse.
