Driving in Queen Anne, Seattle

his mind must be warped to
believe the streets are square,
neatly ordered E-W, N-S,
Avenues and Streets,
not like Boston, he said.
the streets are neither E or W,
nor are they S or N, meandering
alongside the rivers and
seas, only slowly crossing the lines
on the topo map.
it is like Boston, where a right turn
does not unequivocably mean right,
but perhaps right minus 30 degrees,
or right plus ten.
his mind must be warped think
the roads are straight.
