Bent neck (outside future city)

The sadness in the stooping

of the land, the exhaustion
of everything upon it

So it's true: the end of the road is somewhere near home plate.

Yes. Bent Neck. Skimming across the topknot of our convulsed and confused post-election republic, living like a coyote, sleeping in my car in Gillette, Fairmont and South Bend, tuned-in to the night song of flocks of migrating geese, the sweet rumble of train wheels and the frightening big-rig whoop and scud, washing my face in ephemeral puddles, scrubbing my teeth in truck stops, on my way to spend time with my dad in his final days, I saw and admired and was sadden by the bent necks and the exhausted landscape at the end of nearly every road. I’m trying to pay close attention, Tom, and your project is an inspiration. Don’t color me orange, but I’m guilty as hell for invading this blog from top to bottom, clogging your stats page from this northwestern colony, tapping into Hardy and Adorno and Dorn and O’Hara and O’Brien. And Clark.

Thank you, k and T. Some familiarity here. The scrub end of the road -- our back fence. And I do believe I just might know how that brokeneck windmill would feel... if windmills were to have feelings.
