As if on the surface of the moon, Cold in light and shadow, Time itself is outmoded— All glints, struck flints, mica flares— Like TV static, the fluorescent hum Of the exit booth in long term parking, Or at the turnpike's end, and if The future seems permeated With foreboding, imagine the landscape Unfurling behind, a blurry Rear-projection, without soundtrack, Without the windshield wipers' tick, Or the on-again, off-again rain, Imagine the driver's eye As dark water down a drain, And the past seems a momentary Misdeed, a modicum, A mote washed away by a tear.
