Traffic in Moab

home is where the 
angels where the
grandma calls
to quote a Bible passage
about wives
being good to their husbands
husband where the
green lights
(where the?)
stack up like unread books
no brakes for miles
or intersections
no nos, only
I love you sos
are where the wild things
go faster
where the limit slows
the answers only find
who isnโ€™t scared to say
hello(s are where the)
who knows, and yet
the gas again
a number I donโ€™t recognize
nothing
looks like a poem
out here is where the
magpie streaks
through the snow
one for sorrow
two for another year
too far from home
