To understand what was going on it is perhaps necessary to have participated in the freeway experience, which is the only secular communion Los Angeles has. Mere driving on the freeway is in no way the same as participating in it. Anyone can “drive” on the freeway, and many people with no vocation for it do, hesitating here and resisting there, losing the rhythm of the lane change, thinking about where they came from and where they are going. Actual participants think only about where they are. Actual participation requires a total surrender, a concentration so intense as to seem a kind of narcosis, a rapture-of-the-freeway. The mind goes clean. The rhythm takes over. A distortion of time occurs, the same distortion that characterizes the instant before an accident.

It’s easier to read the mind of a fox than to guess   
what a man’s about to say when he returns   
from the woods         head full of roots         veins   
more like branches         shoes in one hand         feet   
blistered         and none of this necessarily   
an indication of how the feet feel         what miles   
uphill and back have done to the soles   
and to the small bones that propel a man

After the accident we had
the phrase after the accident.

Also this: before the accident.
We had a drawer marked

before and after, and after
and before happenings

we'd add atrocities and
incidents and the wild

asters someone before
and after keeps leaving.

You come in
      by the same door, you carry
 
what cannot be left for its own
  sweet shimmer of reason, its false blood;
the same tint I hear with the pulse it touches
  and will not melt. Such shading
of the rose to its stock tips the bolt
  from the sky, rising in its effect of what
motto we call peace talks. And yes the
  quiet turn of your page is the day
      tilting so, faded in the light.
