on the subject

on the subject by Ian Ernzer

a stop sign
badge number
traffic light
chihuahua on a leash
owner with phone to ear
a billboard tells me their product will
make me less miserable so
I can enjoy life
"wake up with our news—
the only way to start your day"
$3.50 a gallon—and that's for the cheap stuff
burritos are expensive these days
don't just be hot—look hot this summer
corner crash: shattered glass and plastic
meanwhile a man in an army coat holds
a neon sign with stenciled letters that reads:
"JESUS LOVES YOU"
