taco bell bags
and half drunken
gatorade bottles

pad the floor
and occasionally
prevent me
from breaking in time

while the sun
is delighting in the burst
     of cracks
that decorate the windshield
like some sort of
            satanic snowflake
that glows
ever led-
             light chasing
its face
            to fire

the aged iris
of this still-
seeing
      gunmetal
vessel

a thousand copper gods
retired to the mire
of soda-cup-
sweat
spitting echoes
in a slur
     of the prayers
we never did send

to the sky.

Some of the best, most vivid description I've read in a while. Really brings the scene alive, a delight to read.
