Arkansas of Interest

Cars displease when
exhausted fumes
erupt in downtown Little Rock,
captive in shrunken
passageways connecting

heritage sites.
Crocheted among skyscrapers
and parking garages,
paralleled with tourists
in air-conditioned comfort

against the humidity.
An early day’s adventure --
people-filled taxis
cross a bridge escaping
water's photographed edge.
