Asphalt (redux)


I am a mustang in a box stall.
I am a saguaro, gone ten years without rain.
I am a rider on a lame horse.
I am a biker without a Road King.
I am a Chevelle on blocks.
I am a Comanche in a trailer on barren California desert.
I am Frank T. Hopkins in the Wild West Show.
I am Glenn Frey with no strings to pluck.
I am Annie Oakley in a corset.
I am the cowboy watching his range shredded by barbed wire.
I am the map dot circumvented by the highway.
I am the desperado told to settle.
I am the mustang in a box stall.
