on
a nondescript strip of interstate
between a dollar store and car
parts dealer an old military airport
with a razor wire fence sprouts
dozens of rows of low slung
barracks
converted to storage units for
anyone’s detritus seeking a home,
the bulbous billboard catches your 
eye:
A1A Self Storage
Built-In Shelves
Climate Controlled

you slow down
thinking of yourself on a shelf
a place for your Urn of ashes
in a dark cool room cut off
from the world, protected
from marauders or at least
from your next door neighbors,
you ask yourself if you’d have to
rent extra units for your id and
superego
