We were twisting and eating overripe strawberries
from the vines in your backyard.  I see houses
when I close my eyes.  When I wake up
I'm thinking about my finances.

My car stops working and evaporates around me.
My car stops working and we have to drive in neutral
for 3 miles to get home.  My car slowly disappears
and I'm pushing against ground, trying
to make the frame move, but it's gone.


There was a driveway
leading into the strawberry patch.
We had everyone over
for duck and potatoes and gravy.
