Sunset smoking, on fire.

Slightly car-sick, I roll down the highway,

The tree branches along the road seem to greet me.

Dronin’ wasp-scooters slide ahead from behind,

Ghost-men cross the street, blessing their lives with risk;

While taillights burn slow, the sunset hides behind blankets of clouds.

Today, I hallucinate reality less than yesterday,

Today, I’m in perfectly unsteady balance.
