Place poem

Backseat

My troubles, they
sprout,
like bad acne;
plant,
like the warts on my feet;
rise,
like the standing water as I shower;
linger,
like pot smoke in my living room,

and I long for them to pass over me,
much like the long orange glow
of streelights in my youth, washing over me
as I sit in the quietude of the backseat.
