Nutshell Kingdom: But For the Cars
2009


Two men in front of a diner on a snowy night -
there is a sign like a coffee cup, waves of neon steam,
a Coca-Cola logo all the more red for streetlight
snowlight and these men are talking of something
ordinary and mysterious, one of them is haunted
and the other is very anxious about that.

It could be happening right now, today,
but for the cars. These are not today's cars.

The moon is full. 
You can't see that part
in the photograph itself.
You have to feel it.
