GUESS YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS ONE

The plow sits by the side of the access road.
In point of fact, though, it isn’t sitting, it’s tipped on end
And if we really want to get specific it’s a tiller.
Now up at the top of the hill
The art museum is closed for renovations.
That doesn’t stop a whole flock of visitors
From landing in among the spider webs
In the lattice of windows facing the sea. Birds, right?
Hours later, you wake nestled in a haystack
With a still-warm revolver in your hand.
It is just like a movie, a not-very good one
Someone gave you a lot of money
To make sure would stay that way. Damn if you’re going
To do something interesting in that case,
Such as break into the museum for love of the work,
Or turn yourself in to the authorities edging into the frame.
You will, however, pause to spit on the plow,
Only then noticing that you are bleeding to death
And do not have much time to clear your name.
