He drives all night into the watery sun afternoon
and parks in front of a karaoke bar.
Next door is a shop called Variety Time,
the sign letters yellow and blue italic neon above his head.
Jesus lets himself inside where Southwestern rugs string one
after another in the center from the front to the back.
The atmosphere makes itself a wedding like jazz and stuffed animals.
He hears a kind of sweet back and forth talking behind the rugs.
