When standing at the sink and hear words call...

Bounding Valves


Our wheels beneath

have no graveled crunch.


Springsteen sings to us

and we back to him

and as your hand inches closer


I know that this was a good idea.


Following Kerouac’s tread marks

is not for the faint of heart

or for those

who love luxury.


It is for people

like us

who enjoy

just getting by–


Finding what is important

inside the passing of occasion,

in fresh and aged faces

and in car seat

scaling

fingertips.



-J. McIntyre
