dusk, not in california

randy says, 'shit.' 
cat on the driveway nextdoor. 
bored boy pushes himself on a skateboard 
before a black pickup backs in. 
i want to cry; the tools are greasy 
and the air is heavy like black holes. 
the garage inhales-- 'emission standards 
are,' he clanks, 'a little different 
over there.'
