paper weights

the main interstate
and flimsy branches of intersections
dyed blue
race under transparent skin

while table tops
plastic and not wood
wielded by
fake knights
carve a dirt path
through arms

dig a hole
cut through the gravel
sit and stare at the top
that is now just a pinprick
a ghost of what it once was
6 feet wide.

you no longer see
the blue sky
