What was Maria Fernandes
dreaming of
when she fell asleep
in her car
behind the Wawa
in between three jobs

This is america
in the 21st century
what $8.25 an hour
gets you

a nap
in a Kia
the can of gas
did it tip her
or she it?

She slept
in its fumes
waiting
in her uniform
no longer pressed
in between.
