Spent
The road
bulges gray, cynical and dusty.
Spent by sugary
cake-eating denizens
spreading the good news.
By archaic beliefs
spinning
pious cloth.
(Remember to wash before wearing.)
By hell-fire fans
down at the local Dollar store
discounting
derelict pennies
who roar once more
over the obsolete
Five and Dime.
