The Tongue Has No Bones
Everything is paranoid as
each neighboring tree looks
different from the side, that
different angle that makes your
ribs hitch, a different
view through your same car door
mirrors.
The ratted branches that staunch
your breath when they claw your passenger-
side window, and the naivete of your
cautious eyes, and still heart when
no tree is to be seen or found.

O YES, those trees! Perfect Image-anary!
Especially:
"that different angle that makes your ribs hitch"
P.S. driving at night, awake for three days, i had been told it was either methamphetamine
or amphetamine, this white powder, but later the chemist-freak proclaimed it
2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine which made sense even though i had no idea what
any of them were only that after three days there were indeed snakes filling ditches
and trees that weren't there with people peeking out from behind them.
P.P.S. Sorry about going on personal rant, i guess talking about speed does that flash-back thing... :)
