The Confoundry

I lined up a bunch of maple leaves on the driveway and got down on my knees,

I spread my fingers out,
fives,
to see which one I could fit my hand inside of without touching the asphalt,

the asphalt was hot still,
like lava,
and I could feel it burning the flesh from my kneecaps,
but I felt almost nothing after a few minutes,
because I was pre-occupied with spreading myself too thin,

whatever this was,
was a bad idea,
and I looked down the road to the left,
and then to the right
but I could not swivel back,
and there was no one around for mile,

surely someone had laid this track,
but they were nowhere to be found,

I was stuck,
and hungry,
and thirsty,
and this was not Hollywood Boulevard,

not sure what I was thinking here,
not even in the slightest
