Abstract
Lorain County, 1999 Sarah Green (bio) The driver says You're lucky you got me. Some other guy—He stops.Cornfields press in. The road unspools: cassette gone wrong, just ribboning.I would hate to see you raped and strangled in a ditch. I would hate to see your throat bruisedand your eyes wild. I would hate to see you jogging, flushed with endorphins— onto the highway's stretch of trees, their change this fall the colorof weak tea, as if they didn't have the energy— with headphones on when out of nowhere someone holds a knife to you.I would hate to hold a knife to you. I would hate to have to—airport signs—you're lucky. You are so lucky.
