“Never,” said the Sandman;
he blinked
as the overhead drizzling traffic lights changed
yellow;
jerking flib-flub of the windscreen wipers
flapped
in his stomach; the great wide street
sspunnnn
past; I remember the deep maroon of his car
flaked
off the bonnet when he said, “I’ll try again; I’ll try again
I’ll try again …”
and the walnut dashboard clicked blue;
blue-ink blood
in the folds of my sweating
palms
