the centerline of the image is indicated
by the left edge of the white column
an aqua car snow covered its reflection
smeared along the street what time of day is this
to the right of the center line
a white square its reflection melted over a chair
the green of the chair the color of the street
in my mind, i push the arms of the chair together expecting the back to twist toward me
