REID BAER
Big Game Sleeper

I'm waiting motionless
following the day's slow awakening
like a wildlife photographer poised
in the blind 
ready to capture a quick glimpse 
behind before 
the night's activities vanish.

facing backward on the southbound 
images of home town waning 
brown turning to orange 
orange fading to green 
future regurgitating the past 
at eighty five miles an hour 
on average
