beyond the entrance
to the cemetery
where I walk
on occasion ….
….. just past
that marker ~
~ you know
the one
which says
“1/2
mile
To
Center”
right before
the slight bend
to the left
which leads to …..
…… the yellow house
built CIRCA 1796
as the sign on it explains
for one reason
“THE SPITE HOUSE,
sited to block
the neighboring brother’s
view toward town.”
are these
mysterious markings
imprints in the pavement
sort of Bigfoot – ish
Sasquatch
in characteristic
that cause
cars approaching
to slowdown
suddenly ~ only to
preserve
the longevity
of struts/shocks
and the drivers
from whacking
their heads
on
the ceiling ~ preventing
impact ….. leading
to a concussion
peace out ~
~ Town of Northborough
spring is here
road repairs …..
…… please commence
this ain’t 1796
and a horse and buggy trail
