While Waiting at the Department of Environmental Quality:
I dared to think the line of cars was moving forward quickly. Now it's stuck.
It's a goddam truuuuuuuuck holding us up. The woman driving it has stopped to
chat with the woman working. What on earth can they discuss? Either the
vehicle passes the emissions test, or it does not: simple, binary. To keep my
blood pressure low, I open "The American Scholar" I've brought with, and find,
of all possible things, a poem about North Berwick, which is where my Edinburgh
relatives used to go their holidays. John Updike played golf there, in the
rain, and wrote a poem about Bing Crosby and death. My turn's coming.
