S'ready for that little sparkler checker
light windowed city rising sideways 
out of the great bustling cracked American highway
system rolling wheels over over north-east, until 
a three-fourths circle left turn,
against iron bars and factories where 
workers arrive in  
dead morning 1920s style,
takes me right there (here) 30 minutes past midnight, 
not a second late, doors open
engine slowed, beneath glassy stars
and sleeping angels, a
transparent winter's glooming
