For blocks and blocks and blocks
a stream of white paint trailed along the street,
marking the path taken by the truck
that made it. A couple blocks farther on.
the straight cuts made by a concrete
saw contrasted with the strokes
of slurry used to seal the asphalt
pavement a couple seasons earlier.

The top photo reminds me of birch trees in the fall.
So that's what happened when Jackson Pollock went straight, is it?
G'morning, Meghan. When I first saw your comment I went "Whuut?" then I saw it - the yellow leaves of the aspen as background to the trees' white bark. Now I get it - and you're so absolutely right!
I guess when Pollock died in a car accident in 1956 he was reincarnated as a line painter in the Speedway street department in 2012?
