stanza for today

with one comment

I know you watch the roadsides
for that broken-down, aging Delilah,
hoping to answer some fainthearted plea
for help with your car jack, change her
flat tire, and send her off, whistling
into the breeze of traffic having known
some goodness in a moment
of deflated optimism.
