The Strip
Andrew Cortes, Ashley Levine, Fernando Morales
grocery store parking lots
of my youth scattered
with receipts
(peanut butter)
(bread)
(spaghetti)
stick shift leather
rust
repeat trips
peer into the strip mall
bar next door the green
parrot neon and inebriated
natural light
eroding yellows of speed
bumps
minimum wages picking up my step
father bagging groceries
