NaPoWriMo #21

Red Town #13
Home Depot 
your trees are beautiful
in this weak light
spring is so new 
it is about to disappear
completely     for some
reason I get lost
on the way home
ambushed by hundreds
of girls in plaid skirts
schoolbuses and safety
guards     the whole 
world working to keep
them upright     I see
everything from behind
a windshield and wreaths
come down, invisible ones
on my head and by their
feet     there is a roaring
a man in a storefront
gets out of his chair
leaves his building and
walks toward me
mouth moving     words
no different than pacing
toward me in this light
