Dead relic LA.
Lights on the roadside
at random.
And for what?
One vast stupidity.
What's the use
of a bend in the road
when the dirt lies unbroken
in every direction?
To represent
that one man
made a decision?
(Specific.
Insignificant.)
To prove that his life
wasn't pointless?
That he had chosen something:
one arbitrary mark
of his will?
A sterile choice,
but his.
Choice makes meaning
of what doesn't ultimately matter.
So, a path across dirt fields
with a bend in it,
to prove that he was here.
And made a difference.
