October #7

white legs flash
down the side of dark roads
"it gets so much darker out
when i'm at home
or maybe just earlier"
weapons held in both hands,
heavy blocks of wires,
communication,
entertainment -
the longer one runs,
the heavier and hotter they get,
these tokens,
pressed upon the runner
by roommate or boyfriend or mother.
white legs flash,
all alone,
dark roads.
