12,741. MARCUS

MARCUS
Invented stories bordered by 
lawns and cars. Has me sneezing
just thinking about it. Like dining
out in Yellow Springs. That Ohio
old man was a snoozer. I was lost
in my own imaginings. The nice
lady showed me my motel room.
The dog-fencing was out back.
-
Trumpeting nothing, it was all
on a dare. The place was too
small for bathing, and I'd been
driving all day. No shower either.
Roughing it, by the modern day's
way. Who would consider that?
-
There wasn't a TV to be found,
and hallelujah for all that too.
The next day was Election Day.
The one where Trump got in.
