That rock in the yard could be from space What with its pocked & cratered surface Ejected from a dying star to careen like a jilted kid
Behind the wheel of his father's Buick Through space, or streets, Through rings of planets & tails of comets Through stops signs and crosswalks Defying solar winds & the lure of pulling orbits & record shops To find her at some dark, shitty club Where his knuckles tighten, Honed into ballistic purity by the burnt and burning atmosphere A meteorite to the face of the boy she's with And this rock now sits, Done with screaming through the Cosmos.
