calls to prayer
From Robert Lee to Post, the road is littered with signs of hope: Watch for water Watch for high water Watch for standing water And on every bridge, Watch for ice. These are not warnings: they are calls to prayer, invitations to passers-by to join a local congregation of watchers who believe in miracles, aided by acres of machines that kneel mechanically in the direction of Lubbock where they know some desert prophet was born, prostrating themselves in endless repetition to a god I do not know. © Steven Schroeder
