out of gas
the horizon hot, the field tall
the ground black, sky above all
blue
the car came churning down the road
tesl at the wheel
running on EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEmpty--
click,clack
tic,tock
like a timer ready to blow
slow
down
out of gas
tesl gets out
cracked headlights
bloody hood
gun from belt
tesl knelt
along the road
in the field
waiting . . .
