in truck-stop diner
i hit the pisser
with tremendous speed
i evacuate
two pints of water
so i may proceed
with diligent haste
to fuel my brain
with coffee strong as
a locomotive
that bursts unhindered
off a curving track
into a canyon
where against all odds
gravity ceases
the massive machine
is then borne aloft
by cyclonic wind
that is my bloodstream
fuel and blood meld
awakeness occurs
awakeness endures
metaphor abjures
bladder signals full
with furtive glances
and a hunter’s stride
i evacuate
to the outside world
