The Good Ones


scratched cds
create din that
cold breath doesn't
help to change
and soft slippery 
plastic is stable
at least it keeps 
something still.
the Good Ones
have to wait
and drive on
until they find
a Passenger like that
Hitchhiker holding his thumb 
like a cup of coffee
in the morning time
when husbands read papers.
flaming arrows flicker to the right
turning stops and time extends.
The Good Ones--
they drive on until they find
a Passenger.
