Visiting Death

I picked up a hitch hiker

on route 303

passing the cement factory

and quarry

and all the huge dumping vehicles

I picked him up

took him where he was going

only to discover

after the rain showed itself

that I’m in the trunk of my own car

wrapped in a black plastic bag

dead
