Subtraction

a girl tosses jacks
(purple twirls
blue

a chinese shuffles in old slippers
hair sprinkled
white)

a woman waits to cross
(lips lick
pink)

a traffic light shifts faces
(yellow slides
red)

a car spins through the intersection
(tires smoke
black)

a rear bumper crumples against stone
(impact reshapes
silver)

a child smashes to the pavement
(form breaks
white)

subtract blue from purple
(bleeds
red)

1988
