roadside attraction

i find all kinds of wild crap by the side of the road

shells and coral
sweden vs. nigeria VHS tape
grilled corn with beans and cheese layered into the open husks
and salsa with nectarines
Funk and Wagnall's with pictures of penguins
box of crayons
ice cream cake
audio cassette recorder
silver snow and
dream dust from Sudan

and then there is the matter of a mama cardinal
nesting in a lilac bush

i see an orange beak poking out from
a tangled wreath of

hair
bark
grass
shoestring
spaghetti
dream dust from England
Scottish whiskers
