No Minnesota, On Wisconsin




where can you go
when you gotta get away

but there’s nowhere to go?

north to Minnesota- drown in the snow

warm cafe but not warm

coffee with a glare

friendly Minnesota 

down Minnesota Route 10

slightly less famous than its brother 66

10 has always been jealous 

held a grudge

travel is my soul

gravel is my friend

horoscope said today 

I shouldn’t read my horoscope tomorrow

but now it’s got me curious

some astrological confluence out to get me

destroy my aura fields

it won’t keep me from going to Wiscon-sin

fall leaves, pumpkins on porch

classic midwest stuff

bar with college football on tv 

a few hours

I gotta move on again

past rusted out factories, lonely smokestacks

aging downtowns with thrift shops and little else
