Closed Loop
Campus at night smells like
brick sweat, walnut fruit
coal plant, Fabuloso
finding which doors
are still unlocked at 11 pm
men hiding in bushes
masked by the whisper
of irrigation sprinklers
across the coffee ground dirt
broken cement that sparkles wet
like adrenaline, 200 mg ibuprofen
200 years of dust left in the pan
after they tried to sweep it away
like woodgrain, like being afraid
like I’m here,
again,
again,
again.
