V627.4-8, P639.19-23   Bottles roll clanking on the floor, under the bonnet
a hung-up tappet or two chatters its story of discomfort. Wild mustard
whips past down the center of the Autobahn, perfectly two-tone, just yellow
and green, a fateful river seen only by the two kinds of rippling light.
Roger sings to a girl in Cuxhaven who still carries Jessica’s name:
