Jeff Bender — The Monarch Review
The Boy in the Car (11th Avenue, Seattle) – Jeff Bender

There is a boy in the car. A metal stairway bends the side mirror as the mom backs out of an alley. The mom doesn’t notice the mirror, and the boy in the back watches. The sun bleaches his shirt as they follow a down telephone pole into the intersection.

If anyone wants to win a World Series you know where to find me

What am I?
Bioluminescent eye
That sees by the shine
Of its own light. Lies
Blind me. I am the seventh human sense
And my stepchild,
Consequence;
Scientists can't find me.
Januswise I make us men;
Glamour
Was my image then—
Remind me:
The awful fall up off all fours
From the forest
To the hours…
Tick, Tock: Divine me.
-- Richard Kenney
