In Media Res-4

even though i’m in the middle
of the very event she wants
words tumble like in-coming
trains at 30th Street Station
i am an update
clicking away
police enter with walkie-talkie noises
it is the threat of urban legend
at high velocity through
whichever fly-over state
at the unholiest of family monuments
this has gone over the hill
and must pull over
so i told the tale walking
