Seth Walsh (Tehachapi, California)

He could hear cars
on the Barstow-
Bakersfield Highway.
He could see his socks
in the kitchen window;
and the Sierras
over the garage.
A fly swam to his chin.
He waved it off.
The extension cord
snapped taut. And now
two grey-soled socks
cramp like bodies faced
with intractable distances.
