out of gas

the horizon hot, the field tall
the ground black, sky above all
blue

the car came churning down the road
tesl at the wheel
running on EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEmpty--

click,clack
tic,tock
like a timer ready to blow
slow
down

out of gas
tesl gets out
cracked headlights
bloody hood
gun from belt
tesl knelt
along the road
in the field

waiting . . .
