The Junkyard

A filthy man scratches his gut with a piece of car
His body has been drunk since 1976

A fuzzy-haired man sorts through busted electronics
A fuzzy-haired woman appears on the horizon

A little kid peeks over the fence for junkyard cats
It’s spring and there could be junkyard kittens

A teen with a speech impediment looks for scrap
He’s making a sculpture to express how it feels to see his female classmates mocking him on Facebook
