Inventory

I dumped the bin onto the passenger floor

to find the small plastic tongs for the fuse.

The orange dash-light spills through the door

on things I have kept but will never quite use.


Salt packets from places that don't even exist.

A map of a state where the roads have all changed.

The grit at the bottom is a fine, gray mist

of everything lost and then rearranged.
