Towed Away

Towed Away

by sam flot 2011

Growing into incremental adjustments

Magistrated by no means of authority or negligence

Building into magnificent entitlement

Usually born into the found and forgotten

Deselected from the available options

Slated for eight drop off spots

Congruent to airport parking and

The stowaway’s car will be towed away

From hiding and deposited

Inside a fenced in lot

Not a little tiny space between city buildings

But rather an empty cube full of void and

Illusionary nothing in the not-eye of the un-beholden and

Caustic feelings are felt and  

Left on the pool table’s green conscience

Like a patch on a pants pocket or

Chalk it up to little sticky reminders and

Loose calendars slipping pills into daily drinks or

A montage of monthly dirigible payments  

Floating over lost cities

Combined carelessly with Caroline’s carabiner

Linking up to be sister cities

In a family of growing legends

Which never foretell

The fall of their forefathers fortunes

Nor will they discuss the rise of the runes and

The relevancy of the re-telling of the history of

Every rock on every rolling hill

In all of California
